Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.:
-12.4 °C

All samples were sealed into aluminum pans for this study. The instrument calibration was verified prior to use by scanning a 2.237 mg indium standard at 10°C/min through the melting point. The instrument performance was evaluated using a 1.683 mg sample of phenacetin scanned at 0.5°C/min. A preliminary scan, at 10°C/min, of the test substance was done using 7.610 mg. In each analysis of the test substance the DSC was loaded with the sample at ambient temperature and then brought to -50°C to ensure the sample aliquot had frozen. The melting point was determined to be in the range of about -17°C. Next, 1.361 and 0.932 mg samples of the test substance were scanned at 0.5°C/min across the melting range of the material. The reported melting point is the average of the two determinations.

Conclusions:
Melting point: -12.4°C
Executive summary:

The study was conducted following OPPTS 830.7200 and OECD guideline 102. The melting point of the test substance was determined to be -12.4°C by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis.
