The aim of this paper is to establish new regularity results for a non-isothermal Cahn-Hilliard system in the two dimensional setting. The main achievement is a crucial $L^{\infty}$ estimate for the temperature, obtained by a suitable Moser iteration scheme. Our results in particular allow us to get a new simplified version of the uniqueness proof for the considered model.
