Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Storage condition of test material: ambient temperature
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
ca. -100 - ca. -71 °C
Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:

The test item had a significantly broadened melting peak with a maximum at- 75 °C, ranging from about -100 to -71 °C.

determination initial temperature [°C]  peak temperature [°C]  end temperature [°C]
 Test 1 ~ -100 -74.2  -70.5 
Test 2  ~ -100 -73.9 -69.3
Test 3  ~ -100 -75.5 -71.8
A   ~ -100   -75.3 -71.1
 B   ~ -100  -75 .1 -71.6
 mean value   ~ -100 -75 -71

The estimated accuracy is ± 1 °C.

TG/DSC-Test (non-GLP) was run up to 600 °C. An endothermic peak starting at about 150 °C with a total weight loss at about 300 °C showed the vaporization of the test item.
