Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The DSC runs PN14398 and PN14411 in open aluminium crucibles are shown in the Table below. The test item shows during the cooling phase from -100 °C up to room temperature no significant thermal effects, which can be associated with a freezing or respectively melting of the test item. Starting at a temperature of approx. 260°C a very broad exothermic effect is detected. After the measuremt the crucibles are nearly empty, meaning the test item starts to decompose (exothermic) and evaporate out of the crucibles. In the temperature range from room temperature up to 500 °C no endothermic effects, which can be associated with a boiling of the test item, are observed.

Conclusions:
The test item has no melting point down to a temperature of -100 °C at atmospheric pressure (1006 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995).
Executive summary:

The test item has no melting point down to a temperature of -100 °C at atmospheric pressure (1006 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995).

This study was GLP compliant and followed OECD 102 and EU A.1. The study was given a reliability rating of 1 (reliable without restrictions).
