Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No melting was observed. Following observations were made:

- 350 °C strong colour change

- 410 °C lower side becomes darker

- 437 °C substance changes to intensive yellow

- 450 °C substance changes to pale okker

- 456 °C substance changes increasingly (brownish)

- 466 °C substance changes to brown

- 498 °C substance becomes darker, no melting

Conclusions:
The test item has no melting point up to 500 °C, the decomposition starts at 350 °C.

Description of key information

The test item has no melting point up to 500 °C, the decomposition starts at 350 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
