Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 on result:
other: no melting point found

The sampie was slowly eooled down (-5 K/min to -100°C) in order to enhanee the possibility of crystallisation.Upon heating several small enthalpic effects registered between -55°C and -10°C, caused by phase transitions and glass transition. However the effeets are too small to be eaused by melting, meaning that the test item had solidified amorphously.

Conclusions:
No melting point was found.
Executive summary:

The melting point of MDIPA Esterquat C18 unsatd. was determined according to OECD Guideline 102 (27 July 1995) and EU Method A.1 (30 May 2008) using differential scanning calorimetry. The sample was slowly cooled down to -100°C to enhance the possibility of crystallisation. Upon heating of the sample small enthalpic effects were registered between -55 and -10°C, caused by phase and glass transitions. The effects, however, were too small to be caused by melting: the test substance had solidified amorphously and no melting point could be found.

Description of key information

No melting point was detected for MDIPA Esterquat C18 unsatd. (amorphous solidification) (OECD Guideline 102/EU Method A.1; using differential scanning calorimetry)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
