Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= -2 - <= 96 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 1 013 hPa

Details:

The test item shows a melting area of crystalline subcomponents between -2 and +96 °C in the 1st heating run. The cooling run shows a crystallization. The 1st heating run shows a glass-transition temperature (of amorphous components) at ca. -30 °C, the 2nd heating run at ca. -27 °C.

Start of the area of melting temperature (defined by using the on-set temperature) from 3 independent single measurements:

0 °C (from first measurement)

-2 °C (from second measurement)

-3 °C (from third measurement)

Description of key information

-2 to 96 °C at ca. 1013 hPa (EU A.1)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point of the substance was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The range of -2 to 96 °C represents a melting area of crystalline subcomponents. The heating runs showed a glass transition at ca. -30 °C. The cooling runs showed a cristallization.
