Any other information on results incl. tables

The DSC-diagram was recorded by heating the same sample two times from 10°C to 250°C with succesive cooling to start temperature. The third heating was continued up to 350°C.

The test item melted in a wide temperature range whereby the condition of the substance changed from solid to glassy and soft to liquid.

By this test the start temperature of the melting process was determined at 128°C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test the substance was found to melt within a wide temperature rate starting at 128°C.
