Results

In the DSC-curve of the preliminary test (heating rate of 20 K/min from 25 °C to 400 °C) a first endothermic heat effect (melting, refer to study 841229) was observed at approx. 130 °C. A second endothermic heat effect was detected at about 360 °C. After the experiment, the sample had lost approx. 40 % of its mass and a brown solid melt remained.

 

In order to determine the boling point more precisely, further DSC-runs were recorded between 200 °C and 430 °C with a heating rate of 10 K/min. During both these runs, the boiling point of the substance was determined to be 355.1 °C. During these runs, the samples each lost 49% and 48% of their mass. After the measurement the sample was coloured brown.

 

The atmospheric pressure during the measurements was 98.7 kPa.

In conclusion, the boiling point of the test material was determined to be 355.1 °C (628.3 K).
