Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The melting temperature of the test substance is evaluated from the DSC curve as the onset temperature of the endothermic peak.

 

Conclusions:
Using differential scanning calorimetry, the melting temperature of the substance has been determined as 100°C.

Description of key information

Melting point: 100°C (EC A.1 and OECD 102: Differential Scanning Calorimetry)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
