Preliminary tests

One broad endothermic heat effect was observed, starting at 60.8 °C, followed by an exothermic reaction starting at about 260 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost about 17% of its mass and the sample was black and swelled.

Main tests

Melting Point / Melting Range

In order to define the nature of the endothermic heat effect more precisely, a DSC main test was recorded between 25 °C and 210 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. After the measurement the sample was still a black powder and was not molten, loosing about 7.6% of its mass.

In conclusion, Acid Navy RN-2682 does not melt under the conditions of the test.

Boiling Point / Boiling Range

A DSC main test run was recorded in the temperature range from 25 °C and 400 °C (heating rate 10 °C/min) which confirmed the results obtained during the preliminary test. The exothermic reaction starting at about 260 °C showed that Acid Navy RN-2682 decomposed before boiling occurred. After the experiment, a black residue remained and the sample lost about 21% of its mass.

The atmospheric pressure during the measurements was 99.2 kPa.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance does not melt as shown in a DSC assay up to 400 °C. The substance decomposes starting at about 260 °C before boiling occurs.
