SECOND EXPERIMENT

During the heating up phase two consecutive endotherm peaks were observed in the temperature range of approx. 128-190 °C. During the cooling down phase no thermal effects were observed from 190 to 25 °C

Values of the DSC run in the second experiment - run 1

Sample weight [mg] Loss of Mass (%) Observation
3.09 2.3 reddish brown, clumped powder

Values of the DSC run in the second experiment - run 2

Sample weight [mg] Loss of Mass (%) Observation
4.30 4.9 reddish brown melt with shiny green surface; bubbles were visible in the melt.
Conclusions:
Substance decomposition at ca 128 °C
Executive summary:

For the determination of the melting point differential scanning calorimetry method was used. The test was carried out at normal atmospheric pressure.

Based on the results of the DSC curves and the appearance of the test item after the supplementary tests, the test item started to decompose from 128.08 °C (401.23 K).

Conclusion

Substance decomposition at ca 128 °C

Description of key information

Substance decomposition at ca 128 °C. No melting recorded up to 500 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
500 °C

Additional information

OECD 102 and 113 - differential scanning calorimetry

The value for the chemical safety assessment was set to the 500 °C, i.e. the higher limit of temperature investigated.
