Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The melting temperature was measured by Differential Scanning
Calorimetry in accordance with DIN 51005.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -100 °C

No melting temperature was found between -100°C and vaporization/decomposition of the test item.

An endetherrnie peak, starting at about 200°C (onset), with a loss of mass of about 1 00% at the end of the run, can be attributed

to the vaporization / decomposition of the test item.

To survey the thermic behaviour of the test item the determination was run up to 400°C.

After this run the DSC-crucible was empty.
