Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Remarks on result:
no self-ignition observed up to the melting point

No significant endothermic or exothermic effects were recorded for the test item between 20 °C and its melting temperature (i.e. 38 °C). After the experiment, the test substance sample changed into a charred swollen residue and was collected in a container placed below the cube. There was no test substance left in the cube itself. It was therefore concluded that most of the test substance sample had melted during the experiment. The change of colour and consistency is an indication for decomposition or reaction.

Conclusions:
The test item is not self-ignitable between 20 °C and its melting range (i.e. 89 - 92 °C) (EU Method A.16).
