Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
key study
Study period:
2010
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A sample of the test substance was loaded into sample cell of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) instrument, and completely frozen at - 90 °C. The sample temperature was then increased at a rate of 10 °C/min. while measuring heat flow relative to an empty reference cell. The temperatures at which onset and completion of the melting endotherm occurred was determined, and melting point is reported as the temperature at which melting was complete.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Melting / freezing pt.:
9 °C
Atm. press.:
101.3 kPa
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: A melting range of -5.8 to 9 °C was observed, with melting temperature reported as temperature where melting was complete.

The test substance exhibited melting transition over a temperature range of -5.8 to 9 °C. The melting point is reported as the temperature at which melting transition was complete.

Conclusions:
The melting point of Tin bis(2-ethylhexanoate) was determined to be 9 °C using differential scanning calorimetry.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the sample was determined to be 9 °C using differential scanning calorimetry.

Description of key information

The melting point of the sample was determined to be 9 °C using differential scanning calorimetry.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
9 °C

Additional information

The freeze point of the Tin bis(2-ethylhexanoate) liquid was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The substance was first frozen at - 90 °C and temperature was increased at 10 °C/min. The melt transition began at -5.8 °C, and the sample was completely melted at 9.0 °C. Although melting occurred over a range of temperature, by definition, the melting point is reported at this temperature (9 °C) where melting of the sample was complete.
