Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, di-TMPTTA exhibited glass transition, therefore melting was not observed. The glass transition temperature was evaluated as -56°C. Further, the onset of exotherm was observed at the temperature of 142°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to evaluate the melting point of di-TMPTTA using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The study was equivalent or similar to the OECD Guideline 102. Under the test conditions the test substance exhibited glass transition, therefore melting was not observed. The glass transition temperature was evaluated as -56°C. Further, the onset of exotherm was observed at the temperature of 142°C (Jeuniaux, 2012).

Description of key information

Melting point was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (Jeuniaux, 2012).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
