Melting Point / Melting Range (DSC):


One measurement in an aluminium crucible with a hole showed an endothermic effect (melting) in the temperature range -10 °C to +15 °C with an onset temperature of -6.3 °C.The onset temperature is derived from the intersection of the tangent line with the highest slope of the endothermic peak with the baseline.



















Ident-No.
