Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Decomp. temp.:
>= 255 °C
Remarks on result:
other: There is no melting point up to the decomposition of the test item, pressure not reported.

No endothermal melting was observed from 30 °C to 255 °C.

Conclusions:
No endothermal melting was observed from 30 °C to 255 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the substance was determined according to the EU Method A.1 by DTA/ISTA measurements with a heating rate of 5 K/min and no pressure was reported. No endothermal melting was observed from 30 °C to 255 °C.

Description of key information

No endothermal melting was observed from 30 °C to 255 °C. Endothermal decomposition starts at 255°C to an exothermal decomposition at 265 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
