Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 445 °C
Remarks on result:
other: it is assumed that the study was performed under atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa

When heating a sample of the test substance in an open test tube (10*100 mm) with a gas burner, the compound showed no bubbles or other signs of melting, boiling or decomposition till 400°C. The test substance was only compacted a bit at 240°C.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item is >445°C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was determined according to OECD Guideline 102 and EU A.1. A differential scanning calorimeter was used. The melting point of the test item was determined to be >445ºC.

Remarks on result:
other: an ambient pressure is assumed
Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item is 900 ºC.
Executive summary:

According to the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (87 ed., 2006), the melting point of the test item is 900 ºC.

Description of key information
