Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The DSC-measurement of the pre-test in a closed glass crucible with the test item showed an endothermal effect in the temperature range 210 - 225 °C, followed by an exothermic effect in the temperature range 245 °C to 295 °C. At the final temperature of 300 °C a black liquid was observed in the closed glass crucible.

The thermograms show broad multi-stage endothermic signals in the temperature range of about 205 to 350 °C. After the measurements the test item appeared as a black residue. The relative mass loss increased with higher final temperature of the measurement.

Conclusions:
The test item melted in a temperature range of 170 - 290 °C under decomposition.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item was tested according to EU Method A.1 and OECD Guideline 102 in a non-GLP study. The test item melted in a temperature range of 170 - 290 °C under decomposition.
