Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results

Both measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermic effect in the temperature range of 60 – 115 °C (melting) with an onset temperature of 100 °C. An exothermal effect was observed in the temperature range 150 – 445 °C. The onset temperature is derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermic peak with the baseline.

Ident-No.

Results

Both measurements in aluminium crucibles with a hole showed an endothermic effect in the temperature range of 100 – 125 °C (melting) with an onset temperature of 106 °C. The onset temperature is derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermic peak with the baseline.
