Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Melting / freezing pt.:
14 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No standard melting point was found. A melting of the main phase at approximately 14 °C (1013 hPa) was determined.  

Result

The DSC measurements were performed twice. After cooling to -150/-50 °C at a rate of 2 K/min the sample was heated to +35 °C at a rate of 10 K/min. The cooling curve exhibits a sharp exothermic peak with a peak maximum at 15 °C (most likely crystallization). Additionally two weak exothermic maxima at 0 °C and -25/-26 °C are registered (crystallization or other phase transitions). Upon heating the heat flow curve shows a sharp endothermic peak with a peak maximum temperature at 19 °C and an extrapolated onset temperature of 14 °C (melting of main phase). This maximum is preceded by two smaller endothermic maxima at -23 °C and 2/3 °C

(phase transitions which cannot be clearly assigned to melting).

Melting temperature:

No standard melting point was found. The melting point of the main phase is detected at approx. 14 °C.

Conclusions:
No standard melting point was found. A melting of the main phase at approximately 14 °C (1013 hPa) was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol.
