Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
single measurement, no pressure and no accuracy were stated
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: Simultaneous Thermal Analyser
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 250 °C

The sample showed a slight weight loss at 50-100 °C, probably associated with a loss of water. Further weight loss associated with a slight exotherm indicates onset of degradation at approximately 270 °C. The sample did not become self-heating throughout the temperature range of the test.

Conclusions:
No boiling point can be determined for fatty acids, C9-13-neo-, potassium salts as the material decomposes (~270 °C) before a boiling point is reached.

Description of key information
