Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

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

Additional information

The values for melting point are taken from the study report and company data.
