Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Discussion

The determinations were performed under nitrogen atmospheres. This was to ensure that if any decomposition was observed, this was probably thermal and not oxidative.

To aid in DSC interpretation a visual assessment was performed using metal block apparatus. The test material was observed to bubble from approximately 220°C. The test material was observed to change to a light brown colour from approximately 280°C. This bubbling and colour change was indicative of boiling with decomposition.

 

Conclusions:
The test material decomposed from approximately 539 +/- 0.5K prior to boiling (101.49kPa).
Executive summary:

Method

The determination was carried out in a GLP-compliant study by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the procedure specified in ASTM E537-86, Methods A.2 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).

 

Results

The test material decomposed from approximately 539 +/- 0.5K prior to boiling (101.42kPa).

 

Description of key information

The test material decomposed from approximately 539 ± 0.5 K prior to boiling (101.42kPa) (EU Method A.2).
