Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Since the analysis was conducted under high vacuum conditions, the heat could be transferred only by radiation, this caused a consistent difference between the furnace temperature and the sample one and a considerable time for the system to reach equilibrium.

The temperatures reported (registered by the thermocouple under the Knudsen cell) are hence different from the one set and the mass loss has been measured only in 80 minutes time interval within each isotherm, after the system had reached equilibrium.
