- Executive summary:
The thermal behaviour of the test item was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry method, according to the OECD guidelines 102 and 113. A small amount of test item placed in aluminum cosed crucible and inserted into the furnace of the DSC device. The temperature was increased from 25 to 500 °C with 10 °C/minutes heating rate. The measurement was performed under nitrogen atmosphere. The experiment was performed in duplicate.
In addition, a supplementary test was run, in order to clarify the substance thermal behavior. A small amount of test item was placed in closed aluminum crucible. The capsule was inserted into the furnace of the DSC device and heated from 25 up to 205 °C, 300 °C and 339 °C with 10 °C/minutes heating rate, than cooled down to 25 °C. Before and after the test, the weight and the appearance of the samples were determined.
Before the test the appearance of the substance was yellow powder. After the experiments the test item melted and blackened in the crucible and became smelly.
The melting point of the substance was determined to be in the range of 334.0 – 338.5 °C followed by a decomposition in the range of 338.5 – 357.4 °C. Based on the thermograms and the appearance of test item after the tests it is concluded that the test item started to decompose immediately after melting.
Conclusion
The substance undergoes melting at ca 334 - 338 °C, immediately followed by decomposition at ca 338.5 – 357.4 °C
