Results and discussion
Melting / freezing point
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- ca. 58 °C
- Decomposition:
- yes
- Decomp. temp.:
- > 140 °C
Any other information on results incl. tables
The onset of the endothermal effect in the DSC curve was taken as the melting point. Under air, decomposition due to oxidation occurs above 140 °C (see section 4.3 and attached expert statement).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The melting point of the test substance is 58 °C.
- Executive summary:
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) reveals a melting point of 58 °C of the test substance.
