Boiling Point (DSC)

In the temperature range of 160 °C – 240 °C, an endothermic effect was observed. In the temperature range 400 – 470 °C an exothermal decomposition with an average energy of -400 J/g was observed.

Measurements by the Capillary Method

To verify the results of the DSC measurement, an additional measurement with the capillary method (Apparatus: Stuart Melting Point SMP 30) was performed in the temperature range of 50 °C – 400 °C with a heating rate of 10 K/min. No melting, boiling or change of the colour or of the physical state of the test item was observed during the measurement with the capillary method. According to the observations during the tests with the capillary method, the endothermic effect starting at 160 °C in the DSC measurements with open crucibles cannot be assigned to the melting of the test item.

Due to the fact that an exothermic effect was observed in the DSC measurements starting at a temperature of approx. 400 °C with a significant loss of weight, it can be stated that the test item has no melting point and no boiling point up to its decomposition.

Conclusions:
The test item zinc 5-nitroisophthalate has no boiling point at atmospheric pressure (10013.3 hPa) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry according to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 Method A.2. and OECD Test Guideline 103 (1995).
