Note: As the test item is dark brown it the observation was made at the surface

 

After cooling down the test item was visually like the original test item.

 

Security Pre-test for the DSC instrument

The crucible was found visually unchanged after reaching a temperature of 450 °C. The weight of the crucible was recorded with 53.82 mg.

Interpretation of the measurements

No complete event was detected. The beginning of an endothermic event was visible at 403.9 5°C, which could be the beginning of the boiling phase.

Conclusions:
The determination of the boiling point was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).
One DSC measurement was performed from 25°C to 445°C (limit of the instrument), but no complete event could be detected.
After consulting the sponsor, the boiling point is stated as >400°C (673.15 K).

No observations were made which might cause doubts on the validity of the study outcome. Therefore, the result of the study is considered valid.
Executive summary:

Determination of the boiling point of Petroleum Resins (Kendex 0897) according to OECD 103 resp. EU A.2

 

Findings and Results:

The determination of the boiling point was determined via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).

One DSC measurement was performed from 25 °C to 445 °C (limit of the instrument), but no complete event could be detected.

After consulting the sponsor, the boiling point is stated as >400 °C (673.15 K).

Description of key information
