Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

The melting point of solid BTMAC is reported to be between 236 and 243 °C. It starts to decompose at 239°C.
The freezing point of a ca. 60% solution of BTMAC in water was found to be < -50 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
243 °C

Additional information

The melting point of solid BTMAC is reported to be between 236 - 239 °C and 241 - 243 °C. This seems to be related to either the purity of the tested BTMAC or related to different measurement techniques.

Several publications report that BTMAC starts to decompose at 239 °C.

The freezing point of a ca. 60% solution of BTMAC in water was found to be < -50 °C.
