Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

TGA EXPERIMENT (PRELIMINARY TEST)

From 275°C upwards the weight of the sample decreased significantly: 25% and 70% weight loss at 359°C and 456°C, resp. After the experiment, a dark brown residue remained in the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

 

DSC EXPERIMENT 1

During cooling a phase transition was observed between -80°C and -60°C. During heating glass transition was observed between -75°C and -50°C with the inflection point at -68.395°C. An endothermic (reaction/decomposition) peak between 200°C and 359°C was observed. After the experiment, a yellow residue remained in the sample container.

 

DSC EXPERIMENT 2

The inflection point of the glass transition was determined to be -67.890°C. No change in appearance was observed after the experiment.

 

DATA HANDLING

The mean (n=2) inflection point was reported as the glass transition point of the substance: -68.1°C.

Conclusions:
The glass transition point of the substance was determined to be -68.1°C. Melting of the substance was not observed between between -90°C and the glass transition point.

Executive summary:

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) experiments were performed in a GLP study according to EC A.1, OECD 102 and OPPTS 830.7200. The glass transition temperature of the substance was determined in duplicate obtaining a mean value of -68.1°C. Melting of the substance was not observed between between -90°C and the glass transition point. Reaction and/or decomposition of the substance started at temperatures above 200°C. Boiling of the substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started.
