Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No melting point was observed.
Executive summary:

No melting point was observed. The test substance was observed to change to a light brown colour from ca 240°C and was deep red at 280°C. Gas was evolved at 292°C. The test was terminated at 305°C as there was no sample left in contact with teh base of the tube.
