- Executive summary:
The thermal behaviour of the substance was investigated in accordance with the OECD guideline 102. For the differential scanning calorimetry experiment, the test item was weighed and placed into the crucible and the test was run with a closed crucible. The prepared capsule was inserted into the DSC apparatus and heated from room temperature up to 500 °C at a constant heating rate of 10 K/min. Before and after the test, the weight of the sample was determined. The measurements were performed under inert atmosphere. The experiment was performed in duplicate.
In order to confirm the DSC outcomes, an additional measurement with capillary method was performed in the temperature range of ca 25 – 250 °C. The experiment was carried out in duplicates.
During the DSC heating up phase, an endothermic reaction was recorded between 62 and 102 °C, which can be reasonably attribute to the water release. Around the temperature of 315 °C the substance undergoes decomposition, throught a series of successive endo-exo-endo-thermic reactions.
At the start of the experiment, the substance appeared as a dark blue powder; at the end of the experiment the substance appeared as black powder.
Conclusion
The test item undergoes decomposition starting from approximately 315 °C up to 340 °C. No reactions of melting/boiling reaction attributable to the test item were recorded.
