Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: a second exotemric peak is observed at the onset T = 307.6°C

Between 25 -190°C water evaporation occurs, followed by substance decomposition between 239 -304°C. The decomposition onset is 267.2°C with an enthalpy energy equal to 299.9 J/g.

A second exotermic event occurs between 304 -370°C with an onset T at 307.6°C and enthalpy energy equal to 81.1 J/g.

Conclusions:
The decomposition of the substance was observed with onset temperature equal to 267.2°C.
A second exotermic events occurs at an onset temperature equal to 307.6°C.
Executive summary:

The substance melting point was tested by thermoanalysis (DSC) according to OECD 102.

Between 25 -190°C water evaporation occurs, followed by substance decomposition between 239 -304°C. The decomposition onset is 267.2°C with an enthalpy energy equal to 299.9 J/g.

A second exotermic event occurs between 304 -370°C with an onset T at 307.6°C and enthalpy energy equal to 81.1 J/g.
