3 tests were applied:
- Test according to Lütolf in an open vessel. Temperature raise at 2.5 °C/min until 350 °C.
- Test in Radex (rapid detector of exothermic processes) in an open vessel. Temperature raise until 150 °C. Exposure time at 150 °C: 16 h.
- Test according to Grewer in air stream. Temperature raise at 1.2 °C/min until 350 °C.

not specified
Type of method:
thermal analysis
Melting / freezing pt.:
°C
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 193 °C
Remarks on result:
other: The test substance undergoes an exothermic process (decomposition) starting at ca. 181 °C with a peak at 192 - 195 °C.

- Test for decomposition according to Lütolf dynamic in an open vessel. Result: First exothermic process at 190 - 350 °C. Peak: 195 °C. dTmax 28 °C.

- Test in Radex (rapid detector of exothermic processes) in an open vessel. Result: No exothermic process up to 150 °C (for 16 h).

- Test for decomposition dynamic according to Grewer in air stream. Result: First exothermic process at 181 - 209 °C. Peak at 192 °C. dTmax 56 °C.

Conclusions:
The test substance undergoes an exothermic process (decomposition) starting at ca. 181 °C with a peak at 192 - 195 °C.
Executive summary:

Three tests were performed:
