Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results of the DSC-measurements

In the temperature range of -40 to -10 °C, a very small endothermic effect with an energy of <10 J/g was observed. In the temperature range of 140 – 350 °C an exothermic effect could be detected, with an average decomposition energy of approximately -340 J/g, directly followed by a second exothermic effect in the temperature range of 350 – 450 °C, with an average decomposition energy of approximately -250 J/g.

The endothermic effects which could be observed during the heating phase are very small and do not represent the melting of the test item.

For a verification of the appearance of the test item at approximately -30 °C, a sample of the test item was placed in a freezer at a temperature of -24.8 °C and checked with a spatula after one day. After one day at -24.8 °C the test item appeared as a rubber like sticky mass. It was not solidified.

According to the DSC measurements and the visual verification in the freezer, the test item has no freezing / melting point at atmospheric pressure down to -100 °C. The test item showed only a slight solidification. The test item has no boiling up to its decomposition starting at a temperature of about 140 °C.

Description of key information

No freezing / melting point at atmospheric pressure down to -100 °C at 1004 hPa (OECD 102, A.1.).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point of the substance was determined by using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) method.
