- Executive summary:
Method
The determination was carried out in a GLP-compliant study by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the procedure specified in ASTM E537-86, Methods A.2 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
Results
The test material decomposed from approximately 539 +/- 0.5K prior to boiling (101.42kPa).

Discussion
The determinations were performed under nitrogen atmospheres. This was to ensure that if any decomposition was observed, this was probably thermal and not oxidative.
To aid in DSC interpretation a visual assessment was performed using metal block apparatus. The test material was observed to bubble from approximately 220°C. The test material was observed to change to a light brown colour from approximately 280°C. This bubbling and colour change was indicative of boiling with decomposition.
Description of key information
The test material decomposed from approximately 539 ± 0.5 K prior to boiling (101.42kPa) (EU Method A.2).
