Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
In accordance with EU A1 Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Annex, Official Journal of the European Union L142/1, melting point was measured by the Differential Scanning Calorimetry method (OECD Guidelines for The Testing of Chemicals, 102, July 27 1995).
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Sample:
Chemical Name Lauryl betaine
Physical State liquid - The sample was dried under a nitrogen purge to remove water prior to analysis.
CAS # 683-10-3
EU # 211-669-5
Manufacturer Colonial Chemical
Batch/lot # 53715J16
Received on November 22, 2016
Tested on January 31, 2017
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= -43.8 - <= -28.2 °C
Decomposition:
no

A freezing point with an average of 245.0°K (-28.2°C) was evident in the sample. A melting point with an average onset of 229.4°K (-43.8°C) was evident on heating. The melting point did not repeat well with a span of approximately 8°C between the replicates. This may be caused by non-homogeneity of the dried sample.

Conclusions:
A freezing point with an average of 245.0°K (-28.2°C) was evident in the sample. A melting point with an average onset of 229.4°K (-43.8°C) was evident on heating.
The melting point did not repeat well with a span of approximately 8°C between the replicates. This may be caused by non-homogeneity of the dried sample.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-35.5 °C

Additional information

DSC analysis of the material, which had been dried under nitrogen prior to analysis since it was presented as an aqueous liquid, showed a range of freezing / melting temperatures. Freezing occurred at -28C and re-melting occurred at -43C. The average has been taken for this result.
