Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Melting at about  420°C (at 4.8 bar). 
Sublimation starts at about 360°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
420 °C

Additional information

Melting of the metastable hexagonal modifcation ( (see remark CSR 1.1.) can only be observed by quick heating, due to the sublimation corresponding with vapour pressure of 3600 mm Hg and the transformation into the orthorhombic modification having a melting point of about 560°C at about 437mmHG (O modification), or 580°C at 555mm Hg (O`modification)
