Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 600 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013 mBar
Remarks on result:
other: The test item has no melting point under atmospheric conditions up to 600°C. There was no atmospheric pressure stated, it was assumed to be 1013mBar.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Thermal Stability

The DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucible with the test item showed no thermal effects in the temperature range 30 °C to 450 °C.

Melting Point / Melting Range (DSC)

The measurement in an aluminium crucible with a hole showed no significant endothermic effect or exothermic effects up to the maximum temperature of 600 °C. No mass loss was detected.

An optical inspection after the measurement showed that the test item was unchanged (regarding both the physical form and the colour of the test item).

Thus it was concluded, that the test item does not melt within the tested temperature range of 40 – 600 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item has no melting point under atmospheric conditions up to 600°C.
