Any other information on results incl. tables

TGA data show there were two thermal events resulting in weight loss associated with sample decomposition. These thermal events occurred at derivative peak values of 168 ⁰C and 323 ⁰C and account for weight losses of 10.4% and 89.0%, respectively. The overall onset of sample weight loss occurred at approx.   139 ⁰C. A residue remained at 600 ⁰C accounting for 0.6% of the material. A TGA thermograph is attached as Figure 1.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Analysis by TGA indicates the test substance decomposes before boiling. The test material showed weight losses of 10.4% and 89% associated with decomposition at temperatures of 168 and 323 degrees C, repectively.

Executive summary:

A thermogravimetric analysis performed according to the ASTM E2550 -07 guideline indicates the test substance decomposes before boiling.

The test material was heated under nitrogen up to 600^oC. Examination of the TGA curve shows that weight loss associated with sample decomposition occurred. The onset of weight loss occurred at approx. 139^oC. There were two main thermal events at derivative peak values of  168 and 323^oC corresponding to weight loss values of 10.4 and 89%, respectively. A residue remained at  600^oC equivalent to 0.6% of the material.
