Description of key information
Various Hanbooks and review present a melting point close or equal to 121,5°C. Although methodologies are not precised, these are reference handboks and the results are coherent: a weight of evidence approach is relevant.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 121 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
