Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Remarks on result:
other: The DSC-curve shows no sign of a melting peak, but an endothermic cp-step at -109 °C, characteristic for a glass transition, i.e. the test item solidifies amourphously.
Conclusions:
No melting point of Butyldiglycol methacrylate could be determined by differential scanning calorimetry but an endothermic cp-step at -109 °C; characteristic for a glass transition, i.e. the test item solidifies amorphously. Therefore a melting point <-20 °C is adopted for Butyldiglycol methacrylate.
Executive summary:

No melting point of Butyldiglycol methacrylate could be determined by differential scanning calorimetry but an endothermic cp-step at -109 °C; characteristic for a glass transition, i.e. the test item solidifies amorphously. Therefore a melting point <-20 °C is adopted for Butyldiglycol methacrylate.

Description of key information

No melting point of Butyldiglycol methacrylate could be determined by differential scanning calorimetry but an endothermic cp-step at -109 °C; characteristic for a glass transition, i.e. the test item solidifies amorphously. Therefore a melting point <-20 °C is adopted for Butyldiglycol methacrylate.
