Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
> 275 °C
Remarks on result:
other: A small glass transition peak was observed between -75°C and -50°C.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the DSC curve recorded during the heating of the test substance (-90 °C - 349 °C) a small glass transition peak was observed between -75 °C and -50 °C. An endothermic effect was observed from 275 °C. This effect was caused by reaction/decomposition of the test substance.

After the experiment, a yellow/brown coloured residue remained in the sample container.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance were observed above approximately 275°C (548K): melting and/or boiling of the test substance were not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Within the scope of this test, the test substance has no melting and/or boiling temperature.
Executive summary:

The determination of the melting point was carried out according to OECD guide line 102. In the DSC curve recorded during the heating of the test substance (-90 °C - 349 °C) a small glass transition peak was observed between -75 °C and -50 °C. An endothermic effect was observed from 275 °C. This effect was caused by reaction/decomposition of the test substance. Reaction and/or decomposition of the test substance were observed above approximately 275°C (548K). Melting and/or boiling of the test substance were not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Within the scope of this test, the test substance has no melting and/or boiling temperature.
