Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Specific details on test material used for the study:
As a result of increasingly rigorous criteria being applied to the analysis of commercial material used in physical property/toxicity testing, the identity of the material has been modified to reveal a more accurate and precise depiction of the commercial substance. This enhancement is reflected in changes in chemical identifiers such as EC and/or CAS numbers from those noted in earlier versions of data records or in study reports.

The melting range of the n-ODSA EC 701-338-8 is quite wide. After beginning to melt, the sample takes some time to reach a point where no solid remains. Presumably this is due to the fact that the product contains an olefin impurity and oligomeric material as well as the alkenyl succinic anhydride.

Conclusions:
The melting range of the substance is between 60.6-68.3 °C.
