Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Justification for type of information:
See below under 'Overall remarks, attachments' for applicability domain.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The melting point is first estimated through adapted Joback group contribution and Gold and Ogle method and then the estimates from the methods are averaged.
Type of method:
other: calculated
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
349.84 °C

Conclusions:
The estimated melting point for the test substance using adapted Joback group contribution method and Gold and Ogle method of MPBPWIN v1.43 program (EPIWEB v 4.1) was 349.84°C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test substance was estimated by MPBPWIN v1.43 (EPIWEB v 4.1) using two different methods, adapted Joback group contribution method and Gold and Ogle method. The test substance was found to fall in the applicability domain of this method. The estimates from the two methods were averaged to determine the melting point of the test substance. The estimated melting point of the test substance was 349.84°C (US EPA, 2016).

Endpoint:

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Differential thermal analysis (DTA).
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 230 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 230 °C
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the melting temperature of the test substance could not be determined, as the substance melts under decomposition at > 230°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the melting point of the test substance using differential thermal analysis. Under the study conditions, the melting temperature of the test substance could not be determined, as the substance melts under decomposition at > 230°C (Schacke, 1986).

Description of key information

The melting point was determined by differential thermal analysis (Schacke, 1986) and was also estimated using MPBPWIN v1.43 software (US EPA, 2014).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
230 °C

Additional information

The substance decomposes prior to melting at 230°C.
