Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No well-defined endothermic reaction could be observed. Therefore, the endothermic heat effect observed during the preliminary test was not due to melting. The test substance does not melt under the conditions of the test (up to 400 ºC). Decomposition of the test item started at about 350 ºC.

Conclusions:
No well-defined endothermic reaction could be observed. Therefore, the endothermic heat effect observed during the preliminary test was not due to melting. The test substance does not melt under the conditions of the test (up to 400 ºC). Decomposition of the test item started at about 350 ºC.
Executive summary:

The determination of the melting point / melting range of the test item was performed according to the EEC Directive 92/69, A.1 "Melting/Freezing temperature" and to the OECD Guideline No. 102: "Melting point / melting range. No well-defined endothermic reaction could be observed. Therefore, the endothermic heat effect observed during the preliminary test was not due to melting. The test substance does not melt under the conditions of the test (up to 400 ºC). Decomposition of the test item started at about 350 ºC.
