Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

An exothermic peak with a maximum about -28°C was observed in the 2nd heating. This can be interpreted as a crystal transformation.

One endothermic peak at -10°C and +13°C. Onset shows the melting of the test item.

An endothermic peak starting at about 200°C (determination Test 1), with the registered loss of mass, shows the vaporization of the test item.

To survey the thermie behaviour of the test item the determination was run up to 400°C. Exothermic decomposition was not observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item shows polymorphaus behavior and has two melting points at -10°C and +13°C.
