Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:
no
Remarks on result:
other: No melting transition or degradation phenomena was observed with Differential Scanning Calorimetry's (DSC) technique

Method according to Siwoloboff

The test was performed in triplicate: the same behaviour of the test article was observed during each test. The test article was heated until 300 °C, maximum temperature permitted by the silicone bath, without observing a significant change in the physical state and the appearance.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

The test article was heated until 500 °C without observing a melting transition or degradation phenomena.

Conclusions:
No melting point up to 500 °C
Executive summary:

From the experimental data obtained according to the guideline A.1 in Official Journal L 383 Part A, it can be concluded that no defined melting point can be found for the test item until 500 °C.

Description of key information

Greather then 500 °C.
