Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

starts to decompose at 233 °C, completely sintered at 290 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point of the substance glycine (CAS 56-40-6) was obtained from peer reviewed handbook data. The same melting point (290 °C) obtained from another handbook is supporting.
