Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Sorbic acid was tested according the method described in the OECD 103 guideline.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The measurments in aluminium crucibles with an aperture showed an endothermic effect in the range of 120 - 150 °C (melting range) nd an exothermic effect in the temperature range of 160 -260 °C with a maximum energy og 108 J/g.
Sorbic acid did not show any endothermic effect between the melting point and the exothermal decomposition.
Thus, a boiling point at atmospheric pressure does not exist.
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.
