Thermal Stability
The DSC showed that in the temperature ranges of 70 °C – 110 °C and 110 °C – 150 °C the test item showed two endothermic effects, which can be assigned to a separation of crystallisation water and the melting of the test item (see study reference ‘4.12 Auto-flammability and 4.13 Flammability_Self-heating properties of substances and mixtures’). Starting at a temperature of 240 °C, an exothermic effect was observed, which was not finished up to the maximum test temperature of 300 °C. Due to this, this exothermic effect has decomposition energy of greater than -250 J/g.

Thermal Stability
The DSC showed that in the temperature ranges of 80 °C – 110 °C and 110 °C – 160 °C the test item showed two endothermic effects, which can be assigned to a separation of crystallisation water and the melting of the test item (see study reference ‘4.12 Auto-flammability and 4.13 Flammability_Self-heating properties of substances and mixtures’). Starting at a temperature of 240 °C, an exothermic effect was observed, which was not finished up to the maximum test temperature of 300 °C.

Description of key information

3.1E-11 hPa to 1.6E-07 hPa at 20 °C (Extrapolation of measured vapour pressure using Effusion method, OECD 104)

The result is given as a range based on the results obtained from two types of Isomalt (ST and GS).
