Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

After heating to 400 °C, the samples had lost approximately 45% and 43% of their original weight respectively.

Overall result: Decomposition on melting from 201 °C (474 K). Decomposition was estimated to occur from approximately 210 to 220 °C (483 to 493 K).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item was determined to decompose on melting from 201 °C (474 K).
Decomposition was estimated to occur from approximately 210 to 220 °C (483 to 493 K).
Executive summary:

Melting point determination was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.

The test item was determined to decompose on melting from 201 °C (474 K).

Decomposition was estimated to occur from approximately 210 to 220 °C (483 to 493 K).
