Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

TGA EXPERIMENT (PRELIMINARY TEST)

From 50°C upwards the weight of the sample decreased significantly. 25% weight loss at 346°C. 56% weight loss at 550°C. After the experiment, a black residue remained in the sample container (original colour: yellow/brown). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

 

DSC EXPERIMENT

DSC curve: see illustration below. A broad endothermic peak between 25°C and 225°C was observed. The effect was most likely obtained due to evaporation of impurities in the test item. The endothermic peak between 225°C and 346°C was due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. After the experiment, a brown residue remained in the sample container.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance has no melting temperature. Decomposition starts at > 225°C.

Executive summary:

In a GLP study according to EC A.1, OECD 102 and OPPTS 830.7200 it was concluded from a DSC experiment that reaction and/or decomposition of the test item started at temperatures above 225°C. Melting of the test item was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. The substance has no melting temperature.
