Remarks:
as indicated by one sharp peak at 250°C
Decomp. temp.:

Remarks on result:
other: Partial decomposition and possible boiling thereafter; due to incomplete mass loss no boiling point was detected

Preliminary test:

Three steps were registered with maxima at 120 °C, 270 °C resp. 470 °C. A total mass loss of 53.2 % at the final temperature could be observed (mass change in the range until 180 °C: 0.9 %; mass change in the range from 180 to 360 °C: 2.0 %, mass change in the range from 360 °C to 600 °C: 50.4 %;). No significant mass loss occurred due to purging.

Main test:

The DSC measurements were performed twice in the temperature range from 20 - 600 °C resp. from 20 - 350 °C.

Upon further heating, i.e. above the melting point, the DSC-curve showed two more peaks: one exothermic peak (peak maximum: 250 °C/ 251 °C) followed by an endothermic peak (peak maximum: 471 °C).

The first one is probably due to exothermic decomposition after melting. The second one may be a result of a partial boiling of the decomposed test item.

Due to the fact that the thermogravimetric measurement as well as the DSC-measurement did not show a complete mass loss in that temperature range, no normal boiling point could be observed.

Conclusions:
In the present study according to OECD Guideline 103, the test item is considered to decompose before boiling.

Description of key information
