Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Melting point / melting range: DSC measurement

Two DSC measurements with a heating rate of 10 K/min showed an endothermal effect (melting) in the temperature range of 235 – 270 °C. The onset temperature (see Table 1) was derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermal peak with the baseline.

The results of the DSC measurements are summarized in Table 1.

Table 1: Melting point (DSC measurements)

 Ident No.  Test item / mg  Starting temperature / °C Final test temperature / °C   Temperature range (endothermal) / °C  Onset (melting) / °C  Crucible  Observations after the measurement
 38694  9.30   25 300   240 – 270  256.83 Aluminium with a hole   Orange melt, no mass loss
 38709  10.42  25  500  235 –270  258.00  Aluminium with a hole  Test item discoloured black, mass loss: 24 %

                                              

The test item had a melting range of 256 – 258 °C.

Executive summary:

The test item had a melting range of 256 – 258 °C.
