Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The endotherm and exotherm peaks in the thermograms do not imply phase transition from a solid to liquid state.

Before the test the appearance of the substance was dark red powder; after the experiments, the test item became a black powder in the crucible.

Sample weight [mg] Total loss of Mass of the Sample (%) Onset of effect [°C] Endset of effect [°C] Energy [J/g]
Replicate 1 4.24 26.7 298.7 342.33 -193.83 (exothermic)
Replicate 2 2.83 31.1 294.25 331.14 -182.38 (exothermic)
Mean - 28.9 296.48 336.74 -188.11
Conclusions:
The substance decomposes before melting/boiling at ca 296 °C.
Executive summary:

The thermal behaviour of the test item was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry method, according to the OECD guidelines 102 and 113. A small amount of test item placed in aluminum closed crucible and inserted into the furnace of the DSC device. The temperature was increased from 25 to 500 °C with 10 °C/minutes heating rate. The measurement was performed under nitrogen atmosphere. The experiment was performed in duplicate.

The endotherm and exotherm peaks in the thermograms do not imply phase transition from a solid to liquid state. Based on the results of the DSC curves and the appearance of test item after the tests, it is concluded the test item started to decompose from 296.5 °C (569.6 K).

Conclusion

The substance decomposes before melting/boiling at ca 296 °C.

Description of key information

The substance decomposes before melting/boiling at ca 296 °C.
