Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: internal procedure VTA(S)31X93001.02 "Melting temperature determination of solid and liquid substances by means of DSC"
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
other: differential scanning calorymetry (DSC)
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= -52 - <= -33 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa
Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:
no

The exact value of the atmospheric pressure is not reported (assumed to be ca. 1013 hPa). Neither decomposition nor sublimation are reported.

At -52 °C, the test item shows the start of the melting process of a partial component 1with an adjacent crystallization (probably partial component 2) and the following melting of partial component 2.

The test item shows an area of melting temperatures (in the 2. heating run) from -52 to -33 °C according to the definition in the EC guideline.

Description of key information

Melting range from -52 to -33 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point (melting range) of the substance nonanedioic acid, bis(2 -octyldodecyl) ester (CAS 897626 -46 -9) is determined according to the EC Guideline A.1 (differential scanning calorimetry method).
