Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The determination of the melting point was performed by visual judgement using the capillary method.
In the preliminary tests a phase transition at 300 °C was obtained and the test item changed the colour from beige to black.
In the framework of the main test, the test item showed the first two stages of melting. The melting started at 282.0 °C (stage A). Stage B was reached at 285.2 °C. At the same time the test item changed the colour to black; test item decomposition is assumed (for details see Table 1).
In conclusion, the test item Soya Flour started to melt and to decom-pose (at 282.0 °C) before the last stage of the melting was reached.
