Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In the temperature ranges of 130 °C – 180 °C a small exothermic effect was detected. At approx. 340 °C the start of another exothermic effect was observed. This exothermic effect has not been completed at 500 °C where the measurement was stopped. This second exothermic effect led to a pressure increase; thus, the bursting disk of the gold crucible was destroyed at approx. 470 °C (PN16261) and the DSC signal of thermogram PN16267 started to flutter at approx. 460 °C. The overall exothermic energy found in the measurements exceeded -760 J/g.

Conclusions:
Exothermic effects are observed upon heating of the substance above 200°C. Because the substance has no functional groups it is assumed, that the exothermic effects are due to polycondensation reactions under formation of the respective polymers and water.
The formation of water would explain the pressure increase when using closed crucibles.

Description of key information
