Description of key information
Based on the available experimental data derived by a fully reliable study with the registration substance the melting point is considered to be between -1.4 and 17°C. This is supported by a further reliable study leading to a melting point of 3°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 3 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
