Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The substance does not show an exothermic decomposition reaction up to 450 °C.
- Executive summary:
The thermal stability of Chloranil (2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone) was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in closed and open (air pressure 20 bar) glass crucials with a heating rate of 3 K/min. Besides an endothermic effect (sublimation) around 290 °C no exothermic reactions were observed up to the temperature of 450 °C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
