Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate has no melting temperature.
Executive summary:

The melting temperature of Tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate was tested by DSC. Reaction and/or decomposition of the test item was observed during DSC experiment at temperatures of > 350°C (> 623K). Melting of the test item was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test item has no melting temperature.
