Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In the temperature range from 40 to 220 °C a broad endothermic effect was observed, which shows no typical melting or boiling signal. An exothermic effect was observed starting from 260 °C with an averaged energy release of -190 J/g.

Sample weight / mg Start of Effect / °C Energy / (J/g) Weight loss / mg Atmospheric pressure / hPa
5.41 40 +140 (endo) 2.50 982.3
260 -100 (exo)
5.4 40 +250 (endo) 2.49 987.5
260 -90 (exo)

For verification of the results the test item was additionally tested according to the capillary method. There, no melting and no boiling of the test item were observed up to a temperature of 400 °C. Hence, the endothermic effects found in the DSC measurements cannot be assigned to melting or boiling of the test item.

In summary, the test item has no melting point and no boiling point up to a temperature of 500 °C.

Conclusions:
No melting/boiling point up to 500 °C
Executive summary:

The thermal behaviour of test item was assessed using the DSC analysis, according to the OECD guideline 102. To verify the results of the DSC measurement, three additional measurements with the capillary method were performed from 25 to 400 °C at a heating rate of 3 K/min.

In the temperature range from 40 to 220 °C a broad endothermic effect was observed, which shows no typical melting or boiling signal.

In summary, the test item has no melting point and no boiling point up to a temperature of 500 °C.

Conclusion

No melting/boiling point up to 500 °C

Description of key information
