Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Therefore the melting point was determined as:
179.60 ± 0.12 °C (452.75 ± 0.12 K)
in a melting process from 167.92 °C to 188.76 °C (441.07 K to 461.91 K)

Description of key information

The determination of the melting point and boiling point of the test item 1-butyl-5-[(4-chlorophenyl)azo]-1,2-dihydro-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxonicotinonitrile should have been determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).


As in the Pre-test for boiling point following Siwoloboff the test item showed signs of decomposition since 270 °C (indicated by colour change and physical state change) with vigorous reaction, after consulting with the sponsor only the determination of the melting point was performed using DSC.


The melting point was determined as:
179.60 ± 0.12 °C (452.75 ± 0.12 K) in a melting process from 167.92 °C to 188.76 °C (441.07 K to 461.91 K)


According to OECD 102 resp. EU A.1.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
