Results and discussion

Melting / freezing point

> 500 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
°C

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the TG/DSC curve of the melting test endothermic peaks are observed at the temperature ranges 253 – 287 °C, 290 – 314 °C and 879 – 923 °C. The mass of the sample decreases, when the sample is heated from ~250 °C up to ~450 °C and again when the temperature is more than ~870 °C. These peaks indicate decomposition step by step and melting, too.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There is no evidence of melting of the substance below at least 500°C.
