Preliminary test:

The substance showed a decomposition from 320 -350 °C and appeared black at 360 °C. No Melting was observed.

Main test:

1st measurement:

- 322 °C: discolouration to light brown

- 348 °C: discolouration to brown, yellow sublimate

- 351 °C: complete discolouration to fawn brown

- 355 °C: discolouration to dark brown

- 360 °C: discolouration to black

2nd measurement:

- 313 °C: beginning discolouration to light brown

- 342 °C: complete discolouration to light brown, yellow sublimate

- 344 °C: discolouration to a darker brown

- 351 °C: beginning discolouration to black

- 363 °C: discolouration to black

Decomposition from 313 °C up to 360 °C, no melting was observed.

Conclusions:
The test item decomposes in the range between 313 °C to 363 °C. No melting was observed.

Description of key information
