Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Decomp. temp.:
75 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Conclusions:
As a result of the initial low rate of enthalpy change during decomposition, the onset temperature could only be approximated. Similar thermographic profiles were obtained using air and nitrogen atmospheres. This indicated that the decomposition was probably thermal and not oxidative. Based on the structure, the mass losses and wide endothermic events during heating were considered to be due to internal dehydration reactions within the polymeric chains.

The test item was determined to decompose from approximately 75 °C (348 K). As the test item decomposed, no value for melting point could be determined.
Executive summary:

The test item decomposed from approximately 75 °C (348 K), by differential scanning calorimetry, designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. As the test item decomposed, no value for melting point could be determined.
