Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Conclusions:
- In the present handbook, the value of -50 °C for melting point is reported for the DEHP.
- Executive summary:
In the present handbook, the value of -50 °C for melting point is reported for the DEHP.
This value was selected in the Risk Assessment Report (final report 2008).

Description of key information
Melting point: from -55°C to -50°C (from 218.15 to 223.15 K), at atmospheric pressure.
Key values used in a weight of evidence approach have been selected in previous Risk Assessment Report, 2008.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -50 °C
Additional information
Three values have been cited in various review articles and handbooks.
Data selected for a weight of evidence approach: -50 °C and - 55°C (data from reference handbooks according to R7 guidance document).
Data from supportive study: -47°C; Data from supportive study: -47°C (data cited in a review article without more details on method or origin, therefore considered as a supportive data but will not be inclueded in the weight of evidence approach.)
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
