Thermal Stability (DSC)

The DSC-measurement in a closed glass crucible with the test item showed a two-stage endothermal effect in the temperature range of 100- 155 °C. An exothermal was observed in the temperature range of 175 - 260 °C with an energy of 583 J/g.

Melting Point / Boiling Point / (DSC and capillary measurement)

A DSC-run up to 300 °C in an aluminium crucible with a hole showed a two-step endothermic effect in the temperature range of 85 - 160 °C and an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 175 - 265 °C. An optical inspection showed a black residue.

Two DSC-runs up to 200 °C in an aluminium crucible with a hole showed a two-step endothermic effect in the temperature range of 95 - 155 °C and an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 175 - 265 °C. The test item appeared dark and melted after the measurement. Due to the broad shape of the endothermic signals no onset temperatures can be identified as a melting point. ln order to clarify the results of the DSC measurements an additional measurement with the capillary method was performed.

Due to the results of the capillary measurements it is concluded that the test item has a melting range of approx. 111 - 159 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, due to the results of the capillary measurements it is concluded that the test item has a melting range of approx. 111 - 159 °C.
Executive summary:

The melting temperature of the test substance was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). First , a thermal stability measurement (DSC) in a closed glass crucible with the test item showed a two-stage endothermal effect in the temperature range of 100- 155 °C. An exothermal was observed in the temperature range of 175 - 260 °C with an energy of 583 J/g.

Afterwards, a DSC-run up to 300 °C in an aluminium crucible with a hole showed a two-step endothermic effect in the temperature range of 85 - 160 °C and an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 175 - 265 °C. An optical inspection showed a black residue. Two DSC-runs up to 200 °C in an aluminium crucible with a hole showed a two-step endothermic effect in the temperature range of 95 - 155 °C and an exothermal effect in the temperature range of 175 - 265 °C. The test item appeared dark and melted after the measurement. Due to the broad shape of the endothermic signals no onset temperatures can be identified as a melting point.

ln order to clarify the results of the DSC measurements an additional measurement with the capillary method was performed.

Due to the results of the capillary measurements it is concluded that the test item has a melting range of approx. 111 - 159 °C.
