Additional information

Determinations 1 to 4 used as preliminary testing for thermal program determinations, and as such were not used within the final melting and boiling point results.

 

Determinations 5 and 6, analysis under nitrogen, generated data used for classification of decomposition. As the thermographic profiles and residue weights obtained show inconsistent results, for unknown reasons, with the analysis carried out under air no classification can be concluded.

 

Melting point results were obtained from determinations 7 and 8, run at 1 °C/min as per the guidelines. Observations of the test item when subjected to heat, for sampling purposes, during the project showed that the test item softened between 50 and 80 °C, this temperature range corresponds with the larger endotherm within the determinations. As the test item is visually a solid at room temperature the two sub ambient thermal events are possibly the effect of supercooling on the polymer causing minor polymer changes as the test item warms.
