Main study: After the experiment the sample appeared unchanged.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance has a boiling point above 400 °C. Decomposition was observed at 549 °C.
Executive summary:

A preliminary test (thermogravimetric analysis) was conducted on 4.91 mg of the substance at a heating rate of 20 °C/minute from 25 °C to 549 °C. At this point 0.20 % weight loss of the test item was observed. Upon cooling to 50 °C the consistency of the test item was determined, of which, indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. The main differential scanning calorimetery study was conducted on 5.03 mg of test substance at rate intervals of 20 °C/minute for a range of 25 to 400 °C. No phase shift was observed within this interval, suggesting the melting point and therefore the boiling point is in excedance of this test range.
