Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Preliminary test

Starting at 200 °C, the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 269 °C the sample weight had decreased by 25%.

Main study

Experiment 1: An endothermic peak was observed starting approximately at 225 °C. It was considered that the effect was caused by the evaporation of the test substance. After the experiment a molten residue remained in the sample container.

Experiment 2: The extrapolated onset temperature of the observed endothermic peak was 279.89 °C. The effect was most likely caused by the evaporation of the test substance. After the experiment it was observed that no test substance was present in the sample container.

Experiment 3: An endothermic peak was observed between 200 °C and 325 °C with an extrapolated onset temperature of 279.57 °C. It was considered that this effect was caused by evaporation of the test substance. After the experiment it was observed that no test substance was present in the sample container.

Experiment 4: To investigate the evaporation peek, a hermetic sealed sample pan was used. The extrapolated onset temperature of the evaporation peak was 320.04 °C. Since the endothermic peak shifted to a higher temperature, it demonstrated that the endothermic effect was caused by evaporation of the test substance. After the experiment it was observed that no test substance was present in the sample container.

The boiling temperature was determined as the (rounded up) average boiling temperature obtained from experiments 2 and 3.
