Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The extrapolated onset temperature of the melting of the registered substance was seen to be at 56.9°C with decomposition beginning in the region of 154°C. A total mass loss of 88.2% was observed on heating to 600°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 56.9 °C
Additional information
The melting point and decomposition temperature of the registered substance was determined in accordance with a method equivalent to that of the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 102. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was conducted to obtain the melting and decomposition temperatures and TGA was carried out to view the temperatures when the materials begin to decompose. The extrapolated onset temperature of the melting of the test substance was seen to be at 56.9°C with decomposition beginning in the region of 154°C. A total mass loss of 88.2% was observed on heating to 600°C. In addition, an equivalent study was conducted to determine the melting point of the structurally similar substance, 6-[Methyl(phenylsulphonyl)amino]hexanoic acid, compound with 2,2',2''-nitrilotriethanol (1:1) (N-methyl salt). The extrapolated onset temperature of the melting of the read-across substance was seen to be at 35.9°C with decomposition beginning in the region of 73°C. Read-across between the registered substance and the test substance (N-methyl salt) is considered justified owing to the structural similarity of the two substances. Both are salts of a carboxylic acid and triethanolamine. The acid components are structural isomers and differ only in the position of a single methyl group in the N-methyl salt. The test substance and the registered substance are expected to exhibit similar thermal behaviour, and have shown similarity in the results of other physical endpoints such as partition coefficient.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
