Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
May 02nd, 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
adopted July 27, 1995
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Differential scanning calorimetry
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
The test item was finely ground using a mortar and a pestle.
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid
Form:
solid
Conclusions:
Solid at 20 °C and 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

The thermal behaviour of test item was assessed unsing the DSC analysis, according to the OECD guideline 102. A small amount of test item was weighed into a one-way 40 μl aluminum crucible and sealed with closed aluminum lid using a capsule presser. Thus prepared capsule was inserted into the furnace of the DSC device and heated from 25 °C to 500 °C with 10 K/minutes heating rate. The measurement was performed under nitrogen atmosphere. Before and after the test, the weight and the appearance of the sample were determined. The test was repeated three times.

During the heating the test item showed endothermic signals in the temperature range of approx. 60 - 170 °C that can be associated with the water evaporation of the test item. Around 300 °C one exothermic peak could be observed, which was assumed to the decomposition of the test item. The endotherm and exotherm peaks in the thermograms do not imply phase transition from a solid to liquid state.

Conclusion

Solid at 20 °C and 1013 hPa.
