Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Key result
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
No firm melting point noted on DSC, as expected for a plant-derived UVCB material

Any other information on results incl. tables

Notes from the test report: “The sample was observed to undergo an endothermic event from -22.0°C (4.2 J.g-1). An exothermic event was then observed to commence from 125.1°C which had a heat of decomposition of -262.4 J.g-1. No further significant energetic events were noted up to 400°C.”
