Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The melting point of the test item was determined to be 38.5 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
38.5 °C

Additional information

Serpenskii et al. (1954) report the melting point of the test item to be in the range of 38.0-38.5 °C. The CRC handbook (query date: 2017-01-04) reports the melting point of the test item to be 38.5 °C. Thus, it can be concluded that the melting point of the test item is 38.5 °C.
