> 285 - < 290 °C
Conclusions:
The melting point of maleic anhydride was determined by DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry) and is in the range of 53-58 °C.
Executive summary:

In a non-GLP guideline study according to DIN 51007, the melting point of maleic anhydride was investigated. The melting point of maleic anhydride was determined by DSC (Differential scanning calorimetry) and is in the range of 53-58 °C.

Description of key information

In a non-GLP guideline study according to DIN 51007, the melting point of maleic anhydride was determined by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) to be in the range of 53–58 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
