Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:

Remarks:
Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
102.3 °C
Remarks on result:
other: mean of four determinations, twice in an open and twice in a closed crucible

RESULT:

- Between approx. 210 °C and approx. 300 °C an exothermic phase could be detected

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of Epoxid-Valerat was 102.3 °C and no pressure was reported.
Executive summary:

A differential thermoanalysis method (DTA) was used to determine the melting point which conforms with the procedure Test method A.1, "Determination of the melting point", described in the EC-Guideline. The melting temperature of Epoxid-Valerat was 102.3 °C and no pressure was reported. Between 210 °C and approx. 300 °C an exothermic phase could be detected. The melting process was found not to be reversible. After cooling down a one-time melted sample the melting point could not be reproduced.

Description of key information

The melting temperature of Epoxid-Valerat was 102.3 °C and no pressure was reported.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
102.3 °C

Additional information

The melting process was found to be not reversible. After cooling down a one-time melted sample the melting point could not be reproduced.
