Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Key result
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
No definite melting temperature could be determined. The endothermic effect beginning at -21°C indicates a change of modification. This effect cannot be interpreted as melting point. The sample remains a solid.
Conclusions:
No definite melting temperature could be established as the sample remains a solid.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the melting temperature of the test substance according to EU Method A.1 and in compliance with GLP. Using the differential scanning calorimetry method no definite melting temperature could be established. The endothermic effect beginning at -21°C indicates a change of modification, however this effect cannot be interpreted as melting point. The sample remains a solid.

Description of key information

The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used on the solid sample. The endothermic effect beginning at -21°C indicates a change of modification. This effect cannot be interpreted as melting point. The sample remains solid.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
