Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

 Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) High-Pressure Diferential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC-HP)
 Equipment  Mettler Toledo DSC-822e   Mettler Toledo DSC-822e
 Crucible  Aluminium crucible with a capacity of 40 microL  gold plated high pressure crucible with a capacity of 30 microL (hermetically sealed until 150 bar)
 Gas  dry air at 50mL/min  dry nitrogen at 50 mL/min
 Method  Heating from 30ºC to 600ºC at a rate of 10ºC/min   Heating from 30ºC to 400ºC at a rate of 10ºC/min
Conclusions:
The relative self-ignition of the substance occurs at 472ºC
Executive summary:

A first DSC has been done and the sample has shown a first wide endothermic phenomenon starting at 49ºC with an associated heat of 120.8 J/g and a second endothermic phenomenon starting at 195ºC with an associated heat of 26.8 J/g. Next, an exothermic phenomenon is observed starting at 282ºC with an associated heat of 481 J/g and another exothemic phenomenon is observed starting at 472ºC with an associated heat higher than 1116.9 J/g.

In view of these resultst, the same sample has been analysed by DSC-HP (in inert atmosphere, nitrogen) and has showed an exothermic phenomenon starting at 278ºC with a peak at 289ºC and an associated heat of 477 J/g which could be attributed to the thermal decomposition of the substance.
