Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance sodium percarbonate decomposes under thermal influence.
Executive summary:

An experiment in a miniautoclave was carried out with sodium percarbonate to investigate the decomposition effects. The onset temperature of the decomposition reaction, based on the detection of gas production, was approximately 110 °C. Compared to the onset temperatures determined with the differential scanning calorimetry and the thermo gravimetric analysis, the temperature is lower but can be considered to be more accurate.

The maximum pressure determined in the experiments was 31 bars with experiments using 1 gram of material and 71 bars with experiments using 2 grams of material.

The apparent activation energy can be calculated by the method of Kissinger and is 129.57 kJ/mole.
