Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study was carried out in a laboratory accredited under GLP, however the study itself was not subject to GLP audit. The study followed OECD TG 102 (1995) and Method A1 in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 without deviations.

Conclusions:
In a valid, reliable and conclusive study the melting temperature of the test item was determined to be 164.3 °C (437.4 K) at 100.9-101.4 kPa.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to determine the melting temperature of the test item according to OECD TG 102 (1995) and Method A1 in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008. The mean melting temperature of the test item was determined to be 164.3 °C (437.4 K), with a relative standard deviation of 0.13% (°C) from the four determinations performed. The atmospheric pressure was in the range from 100.9 to 101.4 kPa.

Conclusions:
In a valid, reliable and conclusive study the melting temperature of the test item was determined to be 127.4 to 163.1 °C (400.5 to 436.2 K) at 99.3 to 99.8 kPa.
Executive summary:

To determine the melting temperature of the test item a study was performed according to OECD TG 102 (1995) and Method A1 in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008. The overall melting temperature range of the test item was determined to be 127.4 to 163.1 °C (400.5 to 436.2 K), with relative standard deviations of 0.79% and 0.33% (°C) from the four determinations performed for the start and end temperatures respectively. The atmospheric pressure was in the range 99.3 to 99.8 kPa
