Preliminary Test

The TGA curve of the test item is shown in Figure 1. Starting at 350°C, the weight of the sample decreased significantly. At 411°C, the sample weight had decreased by 25%.

After the experiment, an orange molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: amber). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

 

Main Study

The DSC curve obtained with Experiment 1 is shown inFigure 2. During cooling three exothermic peaks were observed (results are archived in the raw data). These exothermic peaks were observed between 0°C and -70°C. These effects were attributed to crystallization of the test item.

During heating three endothermic effects were observed. The first appeared between -80°C and -25°C and had an extrapolated onset temperature of -55.096°C. The effect was most likely obtained due to melting of a part of the test item. The second and the third endothermic peaks were observed between -25°C and 25°C and were not completely resolved. Therefore, an extrapolated onset could not be determined. The peak maximum of the third peak was 4.800°C. The effects were most likely obtained due to melting of parts of the test item. An endothermic effect was starting at 300°C. The endothermic effect was probably obtained due to reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.

After the experiment, a light yellow molten residue remained in the sample container (original colour: amber). The change of the colour indicated reaction and/or decomposition of the test item

Experiment 2 was performed as a duplicate of Experiment 1. Figure 3shows the DSC curve obtained. Similar results as in Experiment 1 were obtained. The extrapolated onset of the first melting peak was -55.729°C. The peak maximum of the third peak was 4.485°C . After the experiment the residue was unchanged in the sample container. 

The melting temperature was determined as a melting range obtained from the average extrapolated onset of the first melting temperature (-55.4°C) and the average peak maximum of the last melting temperature (4.6°C).

Conclusions:

The boiling point of the test substance was found to decompose at >300 °C, at 1013 hPa; under the conditions of the test.

Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 103) study, [conducted with GLP certification], the boiling point of the test substnce (EC 205-363-0) was found to be decompose at >300 °C 1013 hPa.
