The stability of the test material was determined by storage in contact with metal/ metal ions at elevated temperature for 14 days in accordance with the EPA/OPPTS Series 830 Guideline 830.6313 and in compliance with GLP.
The stability was assessed by assaying the test material prior to and following contact with aluminium, iron, zinc and their corresponding acetate salts.
Samples of the test material were mixed with each of the powdered metals and their corresponding acetates in separate glass vials which were sealed, wrapped in aluminium foil to protect from light and then stored in a thermostatically controlled oven at 54 ± 2 °C for 14 days. Each sample was then quantitatively transferred to volumetric flasks with acetonitrile. A portion of 2 % aqueous acetic acid solution was added and the samples were sonicated for 10 minutes to ensure dissolution of the test material. The resulting samples were then diluted to volume with water. Portions of the suspensions were filtered and aliquots of the filtrates were diluted with mobile phase for analysis by HPLC relative to a bracketing standard solution.
The stability of the test material to elevated temperature was determined using a circular weight placed on top of the test material in a beaker in order to exert a downward pressure of 25 g/cm^2. The samples were then stored in a thermostatically controlled oven at 54 ± 2 °C for 14 days.
The reaction of the test material with iron and iron acetate was indicated by a change in appearance of the samples. When in contact with iron the samples changed from a buff powder to a black/dark brown solid, and in contact with iron acetate the samples changed to a dark red solid.
Under the conditions of the study the test material is stable in contact with aluminium and zinc and their corresponding acetates, and at elevated temperatures when stored at 54 °C for 14 days.
The test material is not stable in contact with iron and iron acetate when stored at 54 °C for 14 days.

Analytical Results
- Thermal stability: It was found that the test material and its three major impurities were not significantly affected by storage at the selected temperatures. The purity of the main compound was found to increase slightly due to the degradation of some of the major impurities, whose concentrations fell by between 0 and 10%. The concentrations of the minor reported impurities also changed, several of these increasing by as much as 80 %, but because they were at such low levels, they did not affect the overall results.
As no higher purity sample was available, the technical grade compound supplied was used as its own standard. Also, as no retention information or standard samples were available for the known impurities contained in the compound, none of the impurity peaks found could be positively identified.
- Stability to light: It was found that the test material was not significantly affected by exposure to light although its three major impurities degraded by between 7 and 10 %, causing the test material concentration to rise slightly over the course of the test. The concentrations of the minor impurities changed by between -33 and +72 %, but because these were at levels of around 0.1 %, this did not affect the overall results.
Once again, none of the impurities could be identified due to lack of retention data and standards of the impurities.
- Stability to metals: It was found that the addition of the metals aluminium, tin and iron had no effect on the endothermic transitions of the test material and produced no additional transitions in the compound.
