Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Determination of the melting point.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

Instrument:                Mettler Toledo DSC822e Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) incorporating ThermoHaake Cooler EK45/MT.

Sample crucibles:        Aluminum crucibles with lids.

Reference crucibles:    Empty crucible with lid.

Test conditions:          The test was performed in an air atmosphere.

Discussion

As a result of the low rate of enthalpy change during decomposition, the onset temperature can only be approximated.

 

The small endotherm at approximately 120 to 140°C was considered to be most likely due to volatilization of the entrained water impurity.

 

Conclusion

The test item has been determined to decompose from approximately 189 °C (462 K). As the test item decomposed, no value for melting temperature could be determined.
