Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks on result:
other: The curve showed a wide melting profile.

Results

The curve show a wide melting profile starting at -12.6°C and ends at 26.6°C where the sample is totally melted.

Explanation

The nature of the product consisting of a wide range of complex molecules is the reason for the wide melting profile.

Description of key information

melting range: -12.6 to 26.6 °C at ca. 1013 hPa (similar to OECD 102)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting range of the substance Glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, citrates (CAS 91052-16-3) was determined by DSC, equivalent or similar to OECD 102 .
