Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks on result:
other: Glass transition temperature.

The test item C-SAT 090103 shows no area of melting temperatures (in the 1st and 2nd heating run) up to 100 °C (at ambient temperature the sample is a fluid) according to the definition in the OECD Guideline 102. The heating run shows a glass transition temperature (amorphous components) at -40°C (1st and 2nd heating run). The cooling run shows no crystallisation.

DSC curves: see attached document.

Conclusions:
No melting and (upon cooling) no crystallization (freezing) temperature was determined for the test substance, using differential scanning calorimetry in accordance with EC A.1 and OECD 102. A glass transition was observed at -40 °C.

Description of key information

No melting and (upon cooling) no crystallization (freezing) temperature was determined.

A glass transition was observed at -40 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-40 °C
