DSC EXPERIMENT 1

An endothermic peak was observed between 225°C and 250°C followed by an exothermic effect starting at 300°C (see the illustration below). The extrapolated onset temperature of the first peak was 243.512°C. The endothermic effect was most likely obtained due to melting of the test item. The exothermic effect was probably obtained due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. After the experiment, a dark brown molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: off white). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. 

DSC EXPERIMENT 2

In order to investigate the melting peak, Experiment 2 was stopped directly after the melting peak.  The extrapolated onset temperature was 243.510°C. After the experiment, a white molten residue remained in the sample container. It demonstrated that melting was the reason for the endothermic effect.

DATA HANDLING

The melting temperature was determined as the mean extrapolated onset temperature of Experiment 1 and Experiment 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the substance was determined to be 243.5°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.

The melting temperature of the substance was determined in duplicate obtaining a mean value of 243.5°C. Reaction and/or decomposition of the substance started at 300°C.
