- Decomposition:
- yes
- Decomp. temp.:
- >= 370 - <= 425 °C
- Conclusions:
- No melting point could be observed. The substance decomposes between 370 °C and 425 °C.
- Executive summary:
The thermal behaviour of the test item sodium azide was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry according to ASTM E 537-76. Between 370 °C and 425 °C the substance decomposes with an exothermic energy of 758 J/g. The onset temperature of this exothermic reaction is 378 °C and the maximum heat flow of 5 W/g was reached at 396 °C. No melting point could be observed.
