5.1.1 Name and Data of Test Item

Test item: 2,4,8,10-Tetraoxa-3,9-dithiaspiro[5.5]undecane,
3,3,9,9-tetraoxide
CAS No.: 201419-80-9
Lot number: AZ08AVL1
Purity: > 99.9 %
Appearance: crystalline solid, white
Expiration date: 21 September 2021
Storage conditions: room temperature, protected from humidity, well-closed container
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
>= 277.5 - <= 283.5 °C
Atm. press.:
ca. 101 325 Pa
Decomposition:
yes
Remarks:
melting point was determined followed by decomposition in the range of 300.1 – 310.4 °C with 6.73 J/g decomposition energy..
Decomp. temp.:
>= 300.1 - <= 310.4 °C
Conclusions:
For the determination of the melting point differential scanning calorimetry method was used. Applying a linear heating rate, the melting point of 2,4,8,10-Tetraoxa-3,9-dithiaspiro[5.5]undecane, 3,3,9,9-tetraoxide was determined to be in the range of 277.5 –283.5 °C (550.7 – 556.7 K) at normal atmospheric pressure followed by decomposition in the range of 300.1 – 310.4 °C (573.3 – 583.6 K) with 6.73 J/g decomposition energy.
Based on the thermograms and the appearance of test item after the tests it is concluded that the test item decomposes after melting.
Executive summary:

For the determination of the melting point differential scanning calorimetry method was used. Applying a linear heating rate, the melting point of 2,4,8,10-Tetraoxa-3,9-dithiaspiro[5.5]undecane, 3,3,9,9-tetraoxide was determined to be in the range of 277.5 –283.5 °C (550.7 – 556.7 K) at normal atmospheric pressure followed by decomposition in the range of 300.1 – 310.4 °C (573.3 – 583.6 K) with 6.73 J/g decomposition energy.

Based on the thermograms and the appearance of test item after the tests it is concluded that the test item decomposes after melting.
