Results
DSC
Two DSC measurements showed an endothermal effect after the melting in the temperature range of 230 – 325 °C. However, as the melting was already accompanied by decomposition, it can be assumed that further decomposition occurred and the observed endothermal effect could have been either a gas development caused by the decomposition and/or partial boiling of the test item/decomposition products. No further endothermic nor exothermic effects were seen up to the final test temperature of 500 °C. The mass loss after DSC measurement was 67%.
