Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks on result:
other: test performed under air atmosphere

The determination of the melting point / melting range of the test item was performed according to the EEC Directive 92/69, A.1 "Melting/Freezing temperature", December 1992 and to the OECD Guideline No. 102: " Melting point / melting range", adopted July 27, 1995.
