yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 267 °C
Remarks on result:
other: a second exotemric peak is observed at the onset T = 307.6°C

Between 25 -190°C water evaporation occurs, followed by substance decomposition between 239 -304°C. The decomposition onset is 267.2°C with an enthalpy energy equal to 299.9 J/g.

A second exotermic event occurs between 304 -370°C with an onset T at 307.6°C and enthalpy energy equal to 81.1 J/g.

Conclusions:
The decomposition of the substance was observed with onset temperature equal to 267.2°C.
A second exotermic events occurs at an onset temperature equal to 307.6°C.
Executive summary:

The substance melting point was tested by thermoanalysis (DSC) according to OECD 102.

Between 25 -190°C water evaporation occurs, followed by substance decomposition between 239 -304°C. The decomposition onset is 267.2°C with an enthalpy energy equal to 299.9 J/g.

A second exotermic event occurs between 304 -370°C with an onset T at 307.6°C and enthalpy energy equal to 81.1 J/g.
