Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
115.2 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No pressure is reported.

In order to confirm the melting point determined by the DTA method, an experiment was performed using the hot stage microscope in the temperature range of room temperature to approx. 170 °C at heating rates of 10 K/min up to 90 °C and 2 K/min above 90 °C.

Up to 90 °C no changes were observed. Melting starts at 113 °C, the melt was clear at 117 °C. Up to 170°C no visually detectable changes of the melted sample.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the substance was measured at 115.2 °C with the DTA method, no pressure was reported.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the substance was determined according to the EU guideline A.1 using the DTA method, three scans at a heating rate of 5 K/min in the temperature range from room temperature to 350 °C (623K) were performed in closed stainless steel capsules under air presence. One endothermic peak with an average onset temperature of 115.2 °C was detected. This peak can be interpreted as a melting phenomenon.
