Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The test item showed a melting area of crystalline subcomponents between 28°C and 58°C in the 1st heating run. Additionally the test item showed a glass transition temperature at -27°C in the 1st heating run.

The cooling run shows a crystallization starting at 46°C. In the temperature range between 28°C and 58°C the test item shows an endothermic effect. This effect is possibly melting of the main component which was verified by subsequent tests with the Kofler-heating bank (melting effect is visible below 70°C). Start / End of the area of melting temperature from three independent single measurements: 28°C / 59°C (first measurement)

28°C / 58°C (second measurement)

28°C / 58°C (third measurement)

Conclusions:
The melting range of C18 and C18 unsatd. TEA-Esterquat was determined to be 28 - 58°C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of C18 and C18 unsatd. TEA-Esterquat was determined according to EU method A.1 using differential scanning calorimetry.
