Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
75-77 °C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A literature review was conducted. In a weight of evidence approach the literature values were evaluated. The REAXYS handbook reports 13 independent entries. The melting range of the substance was reported to be in range from 68-78 °C. The HSDB database (Merck 1996) reports the melting point to be 74.5 °C. Furthermore the Knovel Critical Tables reports the melting point to be in range of 73-75 °C. In addition the Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals reports the melting point to be 71-73 °C. Five independent literature sources report the melting point in the same melting range. Thus, a range of 75-77 °C was chosen as key value for chemical safety assessment.
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.
