Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Preliminary Test

The TGA curve of the test item is shown in Figure 1 in the attached document "S-930 - Melting and Boiling Temperature.pdf". Starting at 210°C, the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 230°C, the sample weight had decreased by 25%. At 549°C (end of the experiment), 50% weight loss of the test item was observed. After the experiment, black residue was observed on the lid of the sample container and a black residue remained in the sample container (original colour: dark brown). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

 

Main Study

The DSC curve obtained during cooling is shown in Figure 2 (see attached document "S-930 - Melting and Boiling Temperature.pdf"). During cooling a glass transition was observed between -80°C and -50°C). During heating a glass transition was observed between -75°C and -25°C. The inflection point of the glass transition was -62.935°C. An exothermic peak was observed starting at 200°C. After the experiment, a black residue remained in the sample container. The exothermic effect was due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

Conclusions:
No boiling point was determined. Reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed at > 200°C.

Description of key information

No boiling point was determined (OECD 103, EU A.2)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No boiling point was determined. Reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed at > 200°C.
