Specific details on test material used for the study:
The test item was used in its initial form.
Melting / freezing pt.:
96 - 127 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
252 - 344 °C

Before the test the appearance of test item was red, clay; after the experiments the test item became black melts with bubbles in the melt.

During the heating two consecutive endothermic peaks were observed in the temperature range of approx. 96 ˗ 127 °C, which can be associated with the melting of the test item. Afterwards, in the temperature range of approx. 252 ˗ 344 °C two contiguous exothermic decomposition reaction peaks were observed.

Conclusions:
The substance melts approx. at 96 - 127 °C.
Executive summary:

The thermal behaviour of test item was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry method, in accordance with OECD guidelines 102 and 113.

A small amount of test item was weighed into a one-way 40 µl aluminum crucible and sealed with closed aluminum lid using a capsule presser. Thus, prepared capsule was inserted into the furnace of the DSC device and heated from 25 to 500 °C with 10 °C/minutes heating rate. The experiment was performed in duplicate.

Before the test, the appearance of test item was red, clay; after the experiments the test item became black melts with bubbles in the melt.

During the heating two consecutive endothermic peaks were observed in the temperature range of approx. 96 ˗ 127 °C, which can be associated with melting of the test item. Afterwards, in the temperature range of approx. 252 ˗ 344 °C two contiguous exothermic decomposition reaction peaks were observed.

Conclusion

The substance melts approx. at 96 - 127 °C.

Description of key information

The substance melts approx. at 96 - 127 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
