TGA EXPERIMENT (PRELIMINARY TEST)

No significant weight loss was observed. At 549°C, the sample weight had decreased by 3%.

After the experiment, a black molten residue remained in the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

DSC EXPERIMENT 1

An endothermic peak was observed between 225°C and 275°C. The extrapolated onset temperature of the peak was 256.414°C. The endothermic effect was most likely caused by melting of the test item. An endothermic peak followed by an exothermic peak was observed between 300°C and 400°C. The effects were ascribed to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

After the experiment, a brown/black molten residue remained in the sample container. The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item. Based on this visual observation, it was concluded that the test item had molten and the change of the colour demonstrated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

DSC EXPERIMENT 2

In order to investigate the melting peak, in Experiment 2 heating was stopped directly after the melting peak. The extrapolated onset temperature was 256.540°C. After the experiment, a white molten residue remained in the sample container.

DATA HANDLING

The melting temperature was determined as the mean extrapolated onset temperature of Experiment 1 and Experiment 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the substance was determined to be 256.5°C.
Reaction and/or decomposition of the substance started at 300°C.
Executive summary:

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) experiments were performed in a GLP study according to EC A.1, OECD 102 and OPPTS 830.7200.

The melting temperature of the substance was determined in duplicate obtaining a mean value of 256.5°C.

Reaction and/or decomposition of the substance started at 300°C.
