Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
1897 - 2006
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The result was sourced from a peer-reviewed database in which the original data sources are traceable.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Melting / freezing pt.:
36.6 °C

Melting point:

 Value MP [°C]  Reference number
 37 - 37.5  1
 37  2, 3
 38 - 40  4
 34.97  5
 34.61  6

A value of 36.6 °C is averaged from 6 literature references from REAXY database.

Conclusions:
A melting point of 36.6 °C is averaged from a collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable.
Endpoint:

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The result was obtained from a secondary source MSDS in which the original sources are traceable. The original source has been subject to peer-review and therefore are considered as reliable.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Experimental measurement (data is taken from a secondary source, information about the methodology is not available)
GLP compliance:
not specified
Melting / freezing pt.:
37.4 °C

Melting point:

 Melting point value MP [°C]  Reference number
 37 -37.5  1
 37 - 38  2

A value of 37.4 °C is averaged from two literature references.

Conclusions:
A melting point of 37.4°C is averaged from two secondary literature references. The original source has been subject to peer-review and therefore are considered as reliable.

Description of key information

Melting point: 37 to 37.5 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
37 °C

Additional information

An average melting point of 37.0 °C was obtained from a database which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. Melting points in the range of 37.0 to 37.5 °C are reported in secondary literature.
