Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
not applicable
Remarks:
The guideline is not stated in the report, but the study follows principles of the OECD 102 guideline.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The study was performed using thermal analysis equipment of Netzsch (type: STA 409).
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
other: analytical lab is certified under ISO 9001:2008
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 1 400 °C
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: No melting behaviour and decomposition was observed up to 1400 °C.
Conclusions:
No melting behaviour and decomposition was observed up to 1400 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was determined using differential thermal analysis. The guideline is not stated in the report, but the study follows principles of the OECD 102 guideline. This is a non-GLP experimental study and there are minor restrictions in reporting but it is otherwise acceptable as the key study for this endpoint.

No melting behaviour and decomposition was observed up to 1400 °C.

Description of key information

No melting behaviour and decomposition was observed up to 1400 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point of the test item was determined using differential thermal analysis (Schefter 2016). The guideline is not stated in the report, but the study follows principles of the OECD 102 guideline. This is a non-GLP experimental study, however is considered acceptable as the key study for this endpoint.
