Results
The test item shows an endothermic effect in the temperature range of 190 – 330 °C, which can be associated with a melting of the test item (melting point according to the certificate of analysis 213 °C) accompanied by decomposition. No further thermal effects could be observed up to the maximum test temperature of 500 °C.

Due to the fact that the test item showed no second endothermic effect before its decomposition starting at a temperature of approx. 290 °C, the test item has no boiling before its decomposition start at a temperature of 290 °C.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid has no boiling point. Decomposition starts at approx. 290°C.
- Executive summary:
The test item 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid has no boiling point up to its decomposition starting at approx. 290 °C as determined by differential scanning calorimetry and capillary method according to Regulation EC No.440/2008 Method A.2. and OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995).
