Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting point of 21-22°C for a substance with more than 98% purity qualifies the substance as a solid. Nevertheless many technical qualities have less purity and therefore are liquid at 20°C. The material will normally be handled as liquid melt in industrial applications.
