Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 180 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable

The test item showed the initial stages of melting, but did not melt completely. At approximately 180°C, evolution of gas from the partially molten sample was observed to force the sample up the capillary tube, indicating decomposition.

For confirmatory purposes, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was also conducted using a Mettler-Toledo FP900 Thermosystem with FP85 DTA/DSC measuring cell, in an air atmosphere at a heating rate of 20°C/minute. The DSC trace showed a broad shallow endotherm below 150°C, followed by significant exotherms from approximately 180˚C which were consistent with the indication of decomposition in the metal block test.

Conclusions:
The boiling temperature was not determinable as the test item was determined to decompose before melting completely

Description of key information

The boiling temperature was not determinable as the test item decomposes before completely melting.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
