Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From September 28, 2001 to October 05, 2001
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 300 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
> 90 - <= 340 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable

The measurement did not show any endothermic effect prior to the exothermal decomposition.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the melting point of the test substance could not be determined as decomposition occurred at 90-340°C, before the melting point was attained.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the melting point of the test substance according to EU Method A.1 in compliance with GLP.

The determination of the melting point was carried out with the purified test substance by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Under the study conditions, the melting point of the test substance could not be determined due to decomposition at 90-340°C, before the melting point was attained.

Description of key information

Under the study conditions, the melting point of the test substance could not be determined as decomposition occurred at 90-340°C, before the melting point was attained.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
