Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
31 July 2006
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Comparable to guideline study (EU A.1) with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
DSC measurement according to company guideline.
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 296 °C

Two measurements were conducted. No endothermic effects (melting/boiling) were observed.

The test substance starts to react with the oxygen left in the sealed glass vial at ca. 245 °C (mean energy from 2 measurements 18.5 J/g).

The decomposition peak appears at 296 °C (mean energy from 2 measurements 98 J/g).

Conclusions:
The test item starts to decompose at ca. 296°C.
Executive summary:

The thermal behaviour of the test substance was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The test substance starts to decompose at ca. 296 °C without prior melting or boiling.
