Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Normal atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg).

Typical Calculation:

Melting Point [in Kelvin (K)] = Temperature (°C) + 273.15 = 140.8 + 273.15 = 413.95

Description of key information

OECD guideline, GLP-compliant study available. Melting point was determined using capillary method. Melting point was 140.8°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
140.8 °C
