Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A third determination was performed which confirmed that the initial endotherm in Determination 2 was erroneous.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item has been determined to be over the range 28 to 35 °C (301 to 308 K).
Executive summary:

The melting range was determined to be 28 to 35 °C (301 to 308 K), by differential scanning calorimetry in accordance with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No key value for chemical safety assessment is reported as no single value was identified for melting point and instead a melting range was determined.
