Any other information on results incl. tables

During the preliminary test, a first endothermic heat effect was observed at about 145 °C, immediately followed by a second endothermic heat effect, starting at about 162 °C, followed by the decomposition of the test item starting at about 250 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost about 45 % of its mass and the color of the sample was black and carbonized.

ln order to determine the melting more precisely, further DSC-runs were recorded. The first main test run was recorded between 80 °C and 160 °C. After this first main test run, the test item was still a powder which proved that the first heat effect is not the melting. ln a second and a third main test run, recorded between 160 °C and 210 °C and 160 °C and 180 °C, respectively, the endothermic heat effect was observed at 161 .7 °C and 161 .8 °C, respectively. During these runs, the samples lost 1.1 % and 1.5 % of their mass, respectively and where melted and colored brownish-black.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Melting point 161.8 ± 0.1 °C, followed by decomposition starting at 250 °C.
