Description of key information
The melting point reported in the handbook for heptanoic acid is -8°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -8 °C
Additional information
No experimental data is available for the melting point of heptanoic acid. As the three data coming from the literature are in the same range (between -8°C and -7,5°C) it is assumed to use these data (weight of evidence approach).
The data coming from the handbook "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals (Aroma Chemicals) II" is considered as the key parameter.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).
