Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
59 °C
Atm. press.:
1 013.25 hPa
Decomposition:
no

The sharp melting peak showed only a minimal rounding on the low temperature side, starting at about 50 °C, due to impurities. In order to survey the thermic behavior of the test item a preliminary TG/DSC-Test (non-GLP) was run up to 600 °C. An endothermic peak starting at about 100 °C with a total weight loss at 200 °C showed the vaporization of the test item.
