Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Executive summary:
The DSC measurement was combined with a thermogravimetric (TG) measurement according to OECD Test Guideline 102 [adopted on 27 July 1995] and EU test method A.1 “Melting/freezing temperature“, Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
The heat flow curve shows a very small endothermic peak at 228°C (226°C extrapolated onset), which corresponds to the melting point of tin (230°C). Upon further heating a larger endothermic effect is registered starting at 747°C, with a peak maximum temperature at 858°C. Simultaneously to the endothermic heat flow, however, a significant mass loss is observed. After cooling down, the sample holder, the reference crucible as well as the sample crucible are covered with a grey precipitation (sample crucible inside and outside). Therefore the endothermic peak cannot be related to melting, but to decomposition and/or sublimation.
