Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
thermally stable
Additional information
Two studies were conducted by BASF SE in the years 2015 and 2017 in order to determine the thermal stability of the test item using the differential scanning calorimetry method (DSC).
In the study of 2015 the 1st exothermal reaction was observed at an onset temperature of 110 °C with a peak temperature of 147 °C and an energy release of 30 J/g. In the study of 2017 the first exothermal reaction of the test item was observed at an onset temperature of 460 °C with an energy release >70 J/g. The lowest onset temperature in the study of 2017 was >150 °C with an energy release of <100 J/g. In the study of 2015 the lowest onset temperature was <150 °C, but no notable decomposition energy could be observed (<100 J/g). Hence, the test item was considered to be thermally stable at room temperature.
In both studies no OECD guideline was followed. The study of 2015 was chosen as key study because it presented more precise results and the test complied with DIN EN 51007.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
