Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:
and capillary method
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 230 °C

The test item showed a broad endothermic effect in the temperature range of approx. 80 -250 °C, followed by two exothermic effects in the temperature ranges of approx. 250 - 330 °C and 330 - 420 °C, with a mean overall energy of -290 J/g.

Conclusions:
Combining the results of the DSC measurements and the capillary method, no melting point of the test item could be observed. The endothermic effect in the DSC can be assigned to evaporating components (e.g. water). The tets item started to decompose at approx. 230 °C.
Executive summary:

The test item has no melting point up to the decomposition temperature of approx. 230 °C at atmospheric pressure (1004 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry and capillary method according to OECD guideline 102 and EU method A.1. Study was conducted in accordance to GLP-requirements.
