Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Between approx. 245 °C and 370 °C an endothermic effect was visible. This appears to be the boiling range of the test item. Additionally a decomposition of the test item seems to take place. This assumption is supported by the light yellowish colour of the residue in the crucible.

Between 375 °C and 450 °C another endothermic effect could be observed. Within this phase the decomposition of the test item seems to proceed, based on the dark-orange colour of the residue in the crucible.

Conclusions:
A melting range between approx. 65 °C and 200 °C could be observed. No pressure is reported.
Executive summary:

A differential thermoanalysis method (DTA) was used to determine the melting point which conforms to the procedure Test method A.1, "Determination of the melting point", described in the EC-Guideline.A melting range of the test item between approx. 65 and 200 °C could be observed. After the boiling process a decomposition of the substance seems to take place. This is supported by the light yellowish colour of the residue in the crucible. Between 375 °C and 450 °C another endothermic effect could be observed.

Description of key information

The melting point of the substance is in the range between 65 and 200 °C and no pressure was reported.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
