Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Melting point of ETU (imidazolidine-2-thione) is 199 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 199 °C
Additional information
A collection of publication is made:
- According to Krasny (1965), melting point of ETU (imidazolidine-2-thione) equals 194°C.
- in Lin et al. (1977), we found 197-201°C.
- in 9 publications described in Belstein, 197-199°C is indicated.
- in 5 another publications described in the Beilstein, 198-200°C.
- in the Merck Index, 203-204°C.
- in 10 publications coming from ADS on STN, 196-204°C.
- and finally in 4 other publications of ACS on STN, melting point of ETU is about: 193-196°C
The melting of ETU (imidazolidine-2 -thione) is on the range 194 -204°C. Since the melting point range of ETU is too high, we decided at MLPC to control the melting point of his substance, and we have found 199°C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
