Boiling Point (DSC)

In the temperature range of 230 °C – 430 °C, an endothermic effect was observed.

Results of the DSC-measurements

No.	Sample weight [mg]	Onset of Effect [°C]	Range of effect [°C]	Weight loss [mg]	Atmospheric pressure [hPa]
PN14195	7.08	335.63	230 – 430 (endo)	4.41	1003.6
PN14200	7.82	337.16	290 – 430 (endo)	4.27	1003.6

During the heating phase one endothermic effects was detected, which cannot be clearly assigned to a melting or a boiling of the test item.

Measurements by the Capillary Method

To verify the results of the DSC measurement, an additional measurement with the capillary method (Apparatus: Stuart Melting Point SMP30) was performed in the temperature range of 50 °C – 400 °C with a heating rate of 10 K/min. No melting, boiling or change of the colour or of the physical state of the test item was observed during the measurement with the capillary method. According to the observations during the tests with the capillary method, the endothermic effect starting at 230 °C in the DSC measurements with open crucibles cannot be assigned to the melting of the test item.

Due to the fact that the endothermic effect observed in the DSC measurements was associated with a significant loss of weight, the effect cannot be associated with a melting but with an endothermic decomposition. It can therefore be stated that the test item has no melting point and no boiling point.

Conclusions:

The test item zinc cyanurate has no boiling point up to 500 °C at atmospheric pressure (1003.6 hPa), it decomposes at temperatures > 230 °C as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.2. and OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995).
