Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

Melting point (pure grade substance): 69.4 °C

Description of key information

Melting point (Das, pure grade substance): 69.4 °C

Melting range (Rodler, technical grade substance): 61.4 °C - 69.0 °C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
69.4 °C

Additional information

Two guideline studies are available. Both are considered to be reliable and adequate. The study with pure grade substance is considered more relevant, and is carried forward for use in risk assessment, classification and labelling.
