Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

After investigation by metal block analysis melt onset seen at approximately 30 °C, therefore the melting range is to be given from approximately 25 °C to 50 °C (298 to 323 K).

Conclusion:

The melting point range of the test item has been determined to be approximately 25 to 50 °C (298 to 323 K).

Description of key information

25 to 50 °C (298 to 323 K), by differential scanning calorimetry (Method A.1/OECD 102)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
