Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Dimantine
EC Number:

Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Melting / freezing pt.:
22 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 hPa

Any other information on results incl. tables

The sample shows an endothermic melting peak in the 20 to 30 °C region. The much smaller endothermic peaks at lower temperatures may be due to melting of minor components or processes occurring in the frozen sample.

Individual values:

Measurement       Onset       Peak

#1                     21.5 °C     24.3 °C

#2                     21.7 °C     24.7 °C

The mean onset (rounded to 22 °C) is selected as giving the best value of the melting point. The difference between the lower onset value and the higher peak value is used to estimate the uncertainty.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test substance is 22 ± 2 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test substance was determined according to the OECD Guideline 102 using differential scanning calorimetry. At 1013 hPa, the melting point is 22 +/- 2 °C.
