Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Not applicable

Key result
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 380 °C

A melting point tube was filled in triplicate withtest substanceDechlorane Plus 25, Intertek Reference10467868. As the test substance was a fine powder, it was not ground further before analysis. 

An initial test was performed in triplicate using a temperature gradient of30°C to 400°C at a rate of 10°C/min. The test substance, a fine white powder, was observed to change colour to a light brown colour at 350°C, which then slowly darkened in colour as the temperature increased further until the test substance was observed to be black, indicating full decomposition at 380°C. No melt was observed. Due to the observed decomposition, a repeat test, over a narrower and slower temperature range, normally used to provide accurate melting point data, was not performed.

Conclusions:
No melt observed. Decomposition at 380°C
Executive summary:

Experimental determination of melting point was performed using a Buchi B545 Melting Point Instrument in accordance with EU Method A1 (Photocell Detection).

Using a temperature gradient of 30°C to 400°C at a rate of 10°C/min, The test substance, a fine white powder, gave results: No melt observed

Decomp. temp.:
ca. 376 °C

A melting point tube was filled in triplicate withtest substanceDechlorane Plus 515, Intertek Reference 10467870. As the test substance was a fine powder, it was not ground further before analysis. 

An initial test was performed in triplicate using a temperature gradient of30°C to 400°C at a rate of 10°C/min. The test substance, a fine white powder, was observed to change colour to a light brown colour at 340°C, with spots of darker colour appearing at approximately 360°Cuntil the test substance was observed to be black, indicating full decomposition at 376°C. No melt was observed. Due to the observed decomposition, a repeat test, over a narrower and slower temperature range, normally used to provide accurate melting point data, was not performed.
