Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The test material was determined to have a melting temperature greater than 450°C (greater than 723 K). However, the test item did undergo numerous losses of volatiles in the range 150 to 430°C (423 to 703 K); these thermal events were not associated with any phase transition of the test item.

Description of key information

The test material was determined to have a melting temperature greater than 450°C (greater than 723 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
450 °C

Additional information

The test item did undergo numerous losses of volatiles in the range 150 to 430°C (423 to 703 K); these thermal events were not associated with any phase transition of the test item.
