Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No melting point was determiend up to the SADT (25 °C) of the test item.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

According to REACH Annex XI, the test on melting point does not need to be performed as the thermal stability of the test item is medium. A DSC test was performed and an exothermic effect was observed with onset temperature of 88 °C marking the decomposition of the test item. The SADT (Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature) of the test item was determined to be 25 °C. Up to the SADT no melting point was determined. Therefore, no test on melting point is needed.

 

Additionally, a study equivalent to OCED 102 using differential scanning calorimetry was performed in order to determine the melting point of the test item. 24.4 g of the test item were weighted in 270 µL Nimonic crucible and heated from 0 to 250 °C with heating rate of 2 °C/min. An exothermic peak was observed in the DSC thermogram with onset of 88 °C, at which Q=100 W/kg, and the peak was reached at 110 °C (Qmax). Decomposition of the test item was observed. The total heat of decomposition was determined to be 623 J/g. It was determined that the stability of the test item is medium. The SADT (Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature) of the test item was determined to be at 25 °C. Up to the SADT no melting point could be determined.
