Description of key information

The melting point of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane is -14.7 °C at atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-14.7 °C

Additional information

Data from two different handbooks were being evaluated. As reported in the 2004 SIDS dossier, both data points are close together (-14 and -14.7 °C, resp.), thus the data set is considered as consistent and reliable. Highlighted is the value given by the CRC Handbook 2008 (89th. ed.). The melting point of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane is -14.7 °C at atmospheric pressure.
