Any other information on results incl. tables

An endothermic peak was observed between 50°C and 125°C directly followed by another endothermic effect starting at 125°C.

In order to investigate the nature of the first endothermic effect peak, Experiment 2 was stopped directly after this peak. After the experiment, a grey powder residue remained in the sample container (original colour: white). The change of the colour indicated possible reaction and/or decomposition of the test item in addition to potential melting transition indicated by the endotherm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It was not possible to determine precise melting temperature of mercaptamine as the melting transition could not be adequately distinguighed by the decompostion of the substance.
