Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The test item melting point was determined using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) according to Directive EC n. 440/2008 Method A.1., OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995). Between 50 and 87 °C an endothermic reaction was observed, with an intensity of -56.4 J/g. A second endothermic reaction was recorded between 137 and 172 °C associated to an intensity of -17.8 J/g. A third endothermic peak can be observed at 229 - 279 °C with an energy of -28.2 J/g.

The first reaction at 50 - 87 °C can be attribute to the water/solvent release. Both the second and third peaks cannot be associated to melting/boiling reaction, based on the endothermic energy involved and the curve-shape. The onset of the third peak (at 232.30 °C) seem to be the beginning of a decomposition reaction.

Based on data on the analogous substances Similar Substance 01, Similar Substance 02 and Similar Substance 02b, it is expected that the substance undergo to decomposition before melting (at ca 250 -330 °C). In general, chromate-pyrazol derivaties share the thermal behaviour described; they are substances characterized by several aromatic rings, in resonance, which determine the colour aspect of the dye (its primary function). The actual energy of the molecule in resonance is lower than might be expected for any of the contributing structures.
