Description of key information
Melting point [furan]: -85.61°C (Handbook)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -85.61 °C
Additional information
A melting point of -85.61°C was reported for the substance in a handbook or collection of reliable data which has been subject topeer-review and in which the original sources are traceable (Haynes 2010). The result is considered reliable and selected as key study. This value is supported by melting point of -85.6°C (Pennakem 2011) and -85.65°C (Pohanish 2008) which were reported for the substance in secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned.
