Executive summary:

Method


The melting point of the test substance was determined using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) according to the OECD TGs 102 and 103, and the European Methods A.1 and A.2


Results


Between 56 - 250°C there are three negative peaks related to the loss of solvent. The test substance decomposes between 259 - 364°C (onset 275.8°C, enthalpy = 628.6 J/g)


Conclusion


The substance is a solid powder at 20°C and 101325 Pa.

Description of key information

The evaluation of physical state and appearance was based on visual assessment, analytical characterisation and DSC analysis: the test substance is a brilliant blue powder at 20°C and 1 atm.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid
Form:
