Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.:
90 °C
Atm. press.:
983 hPa

The shrunken sample begins to collapse downwards and liquefies at 85.6-85.8 °C.

A complete meniscus is formed at the surface, but an appreciable amount of the sample remains solid at 88.8-88.9 °C.

There are no solid particles at 89.9-90.0 °C.

Description of key information

melting point 90 °C at 983 hPa (OECD 102, EU A.1)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
90 °C
