Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): sodium N-methyltaurinate
- Physical state: solid
- Analytical purity: not reported
Melting / freezing pt.:
160 °C
Conclusions:
The melting point of sodium N-methyltaurinate is considered to be 160 °C.
Executive summary:

According to the peer-reviewed database, the melting point of sodium N-methyltaurinate is 160 °C. However, the database does not provide additional information on the testing method and purity/impurities or composition of the tested material.

Description of key information

The melting point of sodium N-methyltaurinate is 160 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
160 °C

Additional information

The melting point given by the GSBL database for sodium N-methyltaurinate is close to the calculated melting point provided by using the adapted Joback method and the Gold and Ogle method. However, empirical studies provide a better estimation than model predictions. Thus, we consider the measured value of 160 °C as an appropriate estimation for the melting point.
