Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
Guideline compliant well documented study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= 249 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 249 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Up to 249 °C the sample shows a weight loss of ca. 7 weight%. From 249 °C the test item shows most probably a thermal decomposition with melting (a melting >300 °C can not be excluded, due to the information of the capillary method)

The test item Sulfosuccinic (FA C12-18)E, 2Na shows no melting of crystalline subcomponents up to 249 °C according to the definition in the OECD Guideline 102 (mean value from repeat determinations; 1st to 4th heating run).

·        248 °C (from first measurement)

·        250 °C (from second measurement)

·        249 °C (from third measurement)

Up to 249 °C the sample shows a weight loss of ca. 7 weight%. From 249 °C the test item shows most probably a thermal decomposition with melting (a melting >300 °C cannot be excluded, due to the information of the capillary method; the decomposition products seem to start melting at temperatures >300 °C) and evaporation of the decomposition components. A vaporization of significant parts of the test item cannot be completely excluded.

Conclusions:
decomposition at >= 249°C
melting point > 249 °C
Executive summary:

In the Klimisch 1 non-GLP study from Kintrup (2012) the melting point of Sulfosuccinic (FA C12-18)E, 2Na was determined with the DSC method according to OECD 102 and EU method A.1. The test item did not show melting up to 249°C. Up to 249 °C the sample shows a weight loss of ca. 7 weight%. From 249 °C the test item shows most probably a thermal decomposition with melting (a melting >300 °C cannot be excluded, due to the information of the capillary method; the decomposition products seem to start melting at temperatures >300 °C) and evaporation of the decomposition components. A vaporization of significant parts of the test item cannot be completely excluded.

 

For the risk assessment a melting point of 249°C will be used.

 

This information is considered to be relevant and reliable for the further risk assessment.
