Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

A sharp melting point could not be determined due to impurities. The melt was a white pasty substance which contains amount of water.

During the test of auto-ignition temperature, a evaporation of water at 60 °C was oberved. And then the test substance melted at ca. 140 °C and changed its colour to yellow as a sign for decomposition.
