Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Decomp. temp.:
ca. 270 °C

As a low rate of enthalpy change was seen during the initial stages of decomposition, the onset temperature can only be approximated.

Although the test material was determined to decompose before melting, the sample was heated to 400 °C and remained as a white solid.

Conclusions:
The test material has been determined to decompose from approximately 270 °C (543 K). Due to this decomposition, no value for melting temperature could be determined.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test material was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a procedure designed to be compatible with OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1 under GLP conditions.

The test material has been determined to decompose from approximately 270 °C (543 K). Due to this decomposition, no value for melting temperature could be obtained.

Description of key information

The test material has been determined to decompose from approximately 270 °C (543 K). Due to this decomposition, no value for melting temperature could be obtained.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
270 °C

Additional information

The melting point of the test material was evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a procedure designed to be compatible with OECD Guideline 102 and EU Method A.1. It was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the principles for assessing data quality as detailed by Klimisch et al (1997).

The test material has been determined to decompose from approximately 270 °C (543 K). Due to this decomposition, no value for melting temperature could be obtained.
