Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Decomposition:
yes
Remarks:
No melting point as the test substance decomposes at 202.2 °C +/-0.5°C
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 202.2 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

In three runs the tests substance did not melt, but it decomposed. At 185 to 200°C the colour of the test substance changed to brown. At 201.5°C the test substance formed drown agglomerates which moved toward the upper end of the capillaries. The space between the agglomerates was clear. At 208.5 °C most of the substance had moved out of the visible area.

 

The displayed values at the device for the temperature of decomposition were: 202.6°C, 201.7°C and 202.3°C.

Mean point off decomposition: 202.2°C+/-0.5

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No melting point as the test substance decomposes at 202.2 °C +/-0.5
