Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Final melting point (°C)   182.5  182.9

 

Conclusions:
The melting range of NMMO was determined to be 179-183 °C at ambient conditions.
Executive summary:

The melting range of the test item was determined according to EU Method A.1. by applying the capillary method. The melting range of NMMO was determined to be 179–183 °C at ambient conditions.

Description of key information

The melting range of NMMO under ambient conditions was determined to be 179-183°C in a GLP study according to test method EC A.1, capillary method (Younis, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
179 °C

Additional information

For the chemical safety assessment the lower end value of the melting range (179°C) was taken as the key value.
