Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Justification for type of information:
Although primary data could not be found, different publications agreed on the melting point range cited by Chemical Book. This also ties in with general observations from handling and use
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Precise details of method not provided
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
other: Warming gently with visual observations
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 118 - < 123 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 atm
Decomposition:
no
Conclusions:
Although primary data could not be found, different publications agreed on the melting point range cited by Chemical Book. This also ties in with general observations from handling and use, including results from gentle warming to as part of wider evaluation
