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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Melting point / freezing point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Remarks:
- Only one inweight with two heating intervals was conducted instead of at least two independent measurements. Company data: The results, the graphics and the SOPs for DSC and TGA measurements were available instead of a study report with a detailed description (materials, procedure, results, conclusion) of the measurement.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- Remarks:
- only one inweight with two heating intervals was conducted instead of at least two measurements.
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- only one inweight with two heating intervals was conducted instead of at least two measurements.
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: ISO 3146, DIN EN ISO 11357-1, DIN EN ISO 11357-2 (Draft)
- Version / remarks:
- SOPs according to the national standards
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- other: DSC, TGA/SDTA
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- >= 300 °C
- Decomposition:
- no
- Sublimation:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: DSC
- Decomposition:
- yes
- Decomp. temp.:
- >= 78 - <= 528 °C
- Sublimation:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: TGA
- Conclusions:
- Potassium neodecanoate has no melting point up to 300 °C according to a DSC analysis. In a TGA a decomposition range from 78 °C up to 528 °C was recorded.
Reference
DSC
No observed melting up to 300 °C.
TGA
Phase 1: -0.63 % mass reduction up to 78 °C (Water)
Phase 2: -68.13 % mass reduction up to 528 °C (Disassociation)
Phase 3: -4.93 % mass reduction up to 760 °C (Unidentified)
Description of key information
Potassium neodecanoate has no melting point up to 300 °C according to a DSC analysis. In a TGA a decomposition range from 78 °C up to 528 °C was recorded.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
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.
