Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Justification for type of information:
Testring performed by manufacturer, confirming that there is no discernible melting pointResults confirm published handbook data
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
Principles of guidelines followed
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
other: Internal quality systems
Type of method:
hot stages
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch number of test material : A-09-3004
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 300 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 100 kPa
Decomposition:
ambiguous
Sublimation:
no

Above 300oC. No discernible melting point was observed

Conclusions:
Above 300 oC. No discernible melting point was observedExperience from manufacture and use suggest that there is no specific melting point and instead the substance will oxidise at high temperatures. This is confirmed by published data that includes very high melting points that appear unreliable.
Executive summary:

During normal use and handling, and certainly under biological and environmental conditions, there substance will remain solid.

Description of key information

Above 300oC. No discernible melting point was observed

Experience from manufacture and use suggest that there is no specific melting point and instead the substance will oxidise at high temperatures. This is confirmed by published data that includes very high melting points that appear unreliable.

 

During normal use and handling, and certainly under biological and environmental conditions, there substance will remain solid.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
300 °C
