Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
101 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
>= 161 - <= 450 °C

The substance shows first an endothermic melting signal with an onset at 101 °C. Between 161 °C and 450 °C the substance shows a complex exothermic decomposition with several peaks and an overall energy content of 1375 J/g. The most prominent peak of this group is the first one with an onset temperature of 190 °C and a maximum heat flow of 1.4 W/g at 219 °C.

Conclusions:
The melting point of the test item is 101 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting point of the test item determined by DSC measurement according to ATSM E 537 -76 is 101 °C. Between 161 °C and 450 °C the substance shows a complex exothermic decomposition.
