TGA EXPERIMENT (PRELIMINARY TEST)

Starting at 275°C, the weight of the sample decreased slightly, yet up to 550°C a significant decrease in sample weight was not observed.

After the experiment, a black molten residue remained in the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. 

DSC EXPERIMENT 1

An endothermic peak was observed between 250°C and 275°C directly followed by exothermic effects starting at 275°C. The extrapolated onset temperature of the endothermic peak was 265.268°C. The endothermic effect was most likely caused by melting of the test item. The exothermic effects were ascribed to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. After the experiment, a black molten residue remained in the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. Based on this visual observation, it was concluded that the test item had molten and that the change of the colour demonstrated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

DSC EXPERIMENT 2

In order to investigate the melting peak, in Experiment 2 heating was stopped directly after the melting peak. The extrapolated onset temperature was 262.559°C. After the experiment, an off-white/yellowish molten residue remained in the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. It also demonstrated that melting was the reason for the endothermic effect.

DSC EXPERIMENT 3

Since the difference in extrapolated onsets between the first two experiments was > 1°C, Experiment 3 was performed using the same conditions as in Experiment 2. The extrapolated onset of the melting peak was 263.042°C. After the experiment, an off-white/yellowish molten residue remained in the sample container.

DATA HANDLING

Since reaction and/or decomposition was observed during melting of the test item, a relatively high difference between the extrapolated onsets was observed. Therefore a melting range was given instead of a melting temperature. The melting range was determined between the lowest and highest melting temperature of Experiment 1 (265.268°C), Experiment 2 (262.559°C) and Experiment 3 (263.042°C).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting range of the substance was determined to be 262.6-265.3°C.
Executive summary:

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) experiments were performed in a GLP study according to EC A.1, OECD 102 and OPPTS 830.7200.

A melting range instead of a well defined melting temperature was determined. The melting range of the substance was determined to be 262.6-265.3°C.

Reaction and/or decomposition of the substance started during melting.
