Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
189 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 265 - <= 337 °C

The substance shows a first endothermic melting signal with an onset at 189 °C. Between 265 °C and 337 °C the substance shows a slightly exothermic decomposition with an energy release of 47 J/g with an onset at 271 °C. The maximum heat flow of 0.2 W/g was measured at 290 °C.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item is 189 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item, determined by DSC measurement and according to ATSM E 537 -76, is 189 °C. Between 265 °C and 337 °C the substance shows a slightly exothermic decomposition with an energy content of 47 J/g. The exothermic event is not critical.
