Appearance of the Samples

Before the test the appearance of the test item was white, crystallic powder. After the experiments it became a black melt in the crucible.

Measurement

The evaluation of the data was performed using the software STARe. As result, a thermogram was obtained in which the heat flow of the investigated sample is given as a function of the temperature. By integrating the area under the heat flow signals, the enthalpy of the process was obtained.

Based on the weight loss and the appearance of the test item after the tests it is concluded that the test item decomposes up to 500 °C.

Table: Summary of the DSC test response

   Experiment 1  Experiment 2  Mean
 Onset of effect [°C] 193.35 192.67  193.01 
 Endset of effect [°C] 198.61 198.63  198.62 
 Energy [J/g] -82.00  -84.95  -83.48 
Conclusions:
Using a linear heating rate of 10 °C/min the melting point of the test item was determined to be in the range of 193.0 – 198.6 °C (466.2 – 471.8 K).
Executive summary:

For the determination of the melting point differential scanning calorimetry method was used, following internationally accepted guidelines (OECD 102, EU Method A.1) and under GLP compliance. The test was carried out at normal atmospheric pressure.

Applying a linear heating rate, the melting point of the test item was determined to be in the range of 193.0 – 198.6 °C (466.2 – 471.8 K).

Description of key information

For the determination of the melting point differential scanning calorimetry method was used, following internationally accepted guidelines (OECD 102, EU Method A.1) and under GLP compliance. The test was carried out at normal atmospheric pressure.

Applying a linear heating rate, the melting point of the test item was determined to be in the range of 193.0 – 198.6 °C (466.2 – 471.8 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
193 °C

Additional information

The melting point of the test item was determined to be in the range of 193.0 – 198.6 °C. For safety aspects when performing risk assessment, the melting point was set to the lower value (worst case scenario).
