Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 42.55 - < 43.325 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013.25 hPa
Decomposition:
no

The measurement of the melting point was done four times and the mean values were calibrated.

   Begin of melting/°C  end of melting/°C
 1st measurement  42.4  43.2
 2nd measurement  42.6  43.4
 3rd measurement  42.5  43.2
 4th measurement  42.7  43.5

mean: 42.55 °C

Calibration: 42.5 - 43.2 °C

 

The deviation of the values is within the validity area of the method. The temperture difference between begin and end of melting is above the standard deviation, so both values are listed.

Conclusions:
The capillary method showed that the test item had a melting range of 42.5-43.2 °C
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to EU method A.1. The melting range was determined by the capillary method. The test item was heated from the starting temperature to the final temperature at a constant heating rate of 1K/min. The capillary method showed that the test item had a melting range of 42.5-43.2 °C

Description of key information
