Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Three measurements were performed: on each measure, the same normal behaviour of the sample was observed. The mean of the three determination range was the following:

208°C: the sample began a decomposition changing colour to light brown

214°C: in the sample dark splashes appeared

218°C: the dark splashes began to generate bubbles and the solid sample started to melt transition with an apparent decomposition

220°C: the sample continued the decomposition changing colour to red

232°C: the sample was completely red and melted

240°C: the sample remained liquid and changed its colour to dark brown

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting point ranges between 218 to 232 °C .
