Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 169 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
169 °C

The test item shows no melting of the main component up to 169 °C according to the definition in the OECD Guideline 102 (mean value from repeat determinations, 1st to 3rd heating run.

170 °C (from first measurement)

167 °C (from second measurement)

170 °C (from third measurement)

From 169 °C the test item shows most probably a thermal decomposition presumably with melting of decomposition components (melting > 169 °C cannot be excluded).

In the temperature area between about 110 °C and 120 °C the test item shows a reversible endothermic effect. This effects possibly is melting of subcomponents and/or solid-solid phase transformations. These effects do not belong to the melting of the test item (main component) which was verified by a subsequent test by using the Kofler heating bank (no morphological change of the test item is visible).

The cooling runs show no cristallization.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
169 °C

Additional information

The melting behaviour of the substance was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry according to OECD Guideline 102.

The test item shows no melting of the main component up to 169 °C. From 169 °C the test item shows most probably a thermal decomposition presumably with melting of the decomposition components. In the temperature area between about 110 °C and 120 °C the test item shows a reversible endothermic effect. This effects possibly is melting of subcomponents and/or solid-solid phase transformations.
