Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2021-08-20 to 2021-09-21
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Remarks:
Three DSC measurements with a heating rate of 10K/min
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= 153 - <= 157 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013.3 hPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 153 °C

Under consideration of the result from the melting point it was concluded that the test item had no boiling point at atmospheric conditions. The test item started to decompose before  boiling could occur.


A measurement with the capillary method was performed to clarify the results of the DSC
measurements. Since this measurement was performed only as a verifying screening a high heating rate of 10 K/min was chosen and therefore the absolute temperature values derived with the capillary method are not as accurate as the DSC results. The filling height of the test item was approximately 5 mm.

Conclusions:
The test item had a melting range of 153 - 157 °C.
Executive summary:

Under consideration of the results from the DSC measurements and the capillary method it was concluded that the test item had a melting range of 153 - 157 °C. Under consideration of the result from the melting point it was concluded that the test item had no boiling point at atmospheric conditions. The test item started to decompose before boiling could occur during the melting.

Description of key information

The test item had a melting range of 153 - 157 °C. Decomposition started during the melting and before boiling could occur.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
155 °C
