8.4.1. Preliminary Test

The TGA curve of the test item is shown in Figure 1 (attached).  Starting at 50°C, the weight of the

sample decreased significantly.  

After the experiment, a dark grey residue remained in the sample container (original colour:

colourless).  The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test

item.

8.4.2. Main Study

The DSC curve obtained with Experiment 1 is shown in Figure 2 (attached).  During cooling, a glass

transition was observed between -80°C and -40°C (results are archived in the raw data).

During cooling a glass transition was observed between -75°C and -25°C.  The inflection

point of the glass transition was -56.885°C.  An endothermic peak was observed between 0°C

and 175°C.  The endothermic effect was most likely obtained due to evaporation of volatile

components and reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.  An endothermic peak was

observed starting at 375°C.  The endothermic effect was due to reaction and/or

decomposition of the test item.

After the experiment, a colourless solid residue remained in the sample container.

Experiment 2 was performed as a duplicate of the glass transition temperature.  Figure 3 (attached)

shows the DSC curve obtained.  The inflection point of the glass transition -57.341°C.  After

the experiment, the sample appeared to have been unchanged, i.e. no decomposition and/or

evaporation were observed.  

The glass transition temperature was determined as the mean glass transition temperature of

Experiment 1 (-56.885°C) and Experiment 2 (-57.341°C).

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of Trimethoxyboroxine (TMBX) were determined by DSC.
No melting point was determined. A glass transition of the test item was observed at -57.1°C (216.0K).
