The measuring accuracy was addicted to BŰCHI Melting Point 545 apparatus accuracy (measuring accuracy up to 373.15 K - ± 0.3 K; up to 523.15 K - ± 0.5 K and up to 673.15 K - ± 0.8 K) and equal to ± 0.8 K.

The results of three measurements were showed in following table:

Description of key information

The melting point is > 300 °C at 101 kPa (2 EO, ASTM E 737-76) or is from 150 - 158 °C at 102 kPa (1 EO, EU A.1.).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
