Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The melting point of the test substance was estimated using a constituents approach.

This final extract is a natural complex substance. It is a mixture of several components, and two of them represent about 98.5% of the UVCB.

The value of the melting point for the final extract is between 0°C and 18.1°C.
