Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results:

The test item showed a semi crystalline behavior.

A glass transition was found at -100 °C followed by a broad melting

range between about -60 °C and 18 °C with a pronounced peak at 16 °C in the 2nd heating.

Observed thermal processes:

To avoid cold crystallization and to achieve the best possible crystallinity, the test item was annealed at -80 °C. After

this, the test item was still partly crystallized with a glass transition of the amorphous phase at -100 °C (measured with a heating

rate of 2 K/min) and a broad melting range between about -60 °C and +18 °C and a pronounced peak at 16 °C.

In order to survey the thermal behavior of the test item a preliminary TG/DSC-Test (non-GLP) was run up to 600 °C.

An endothermal peak at 298 °C with a total weight lass at 306 °C showed the vaporization of the test item.
