Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
136.1 °C
Atm. press.:
101.3 kPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 330 °C

In a pre-test (one run from 25 to 400 °C, rate 20 °C/min) two endothermic heat effects were observed, the first peak starting at 137 °C the second at 330 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost about 95.8% of its mass and stained the cup black. In the main test an endothermic heat effect was observed at 136 °C. During these runs, samples lost no weight and a colorless stringy drop remained.

Description of key information

136 °C (OECD 102, A.1), 133 °C  and 133-135 °C (DIN 53181)
