Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Melting / freezing point
Key result
Decomposition:
yes
Remarks:
The melting point can not be determined because the test item starts to decompose simultaneously with the melting.
Decomp. temp.:
> 123 - < 231 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
The melting point can not be determined because the test item starts to decompose simultaneously with the melting.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results of the DSC curves, in the range of 123.25 – 231.23 °C (396.40 –
504.38 K) overlapping endothermic peaks could be observed, which was associated to the
start of melting followed immediate decomposition of the test item. The melting point can
not be determined because the test item starts to decompose simultaneously with the
melting.
Executive summary:

For the determination of the melting point differential scanning calorimetry method was
used. The test was carried out at normal atmospheric pressure.
Based on the results of the DSC curves, in the range of 123.25 – 231.23 °C (396.40 –
504.38 K) overlapping endothermic peaks could be observed, which was associated to the
start of melting followed by immediate decomposition of the test item.

The melting point cannot be determined because the test item starts to decompose simultaneously with the melting.
