Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Purity: >98 % This substance has an Unknown or Variable composition, is a Complex reaction product, or a Biological material (UVCB), therefore purity was taken to be 100 %
- Description: Yellow liquid
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
-60 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
100 °C

No endotherms characteristic of a melting temperature were recorded on either test, resulting in a melting temperature of <−60°C. However, an endothermic event characteristic of glass transition was seen with an onset temperature of−34°C. Various exothermic events were observed from 100 to 400°C, indicating decomposition

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, no endotherms characteristic of a melting temperature were recorded on either test, therefore the melting temperature is <−60°C, however, an endothermic event characteristic of glass transition was observed, with an onset temperature of −34°C. Various exothermic events were observed from 100 to 400°C, indicating decomposition.
Executive summary:

In a study performed to the standardized guideline OECD 102, under GLP conditions, the melting point of the test substance was as follows; no endotherms characteristic of a melting temperature were recorded on either test, therefore the melting temperature is <−60°C, however, an endothermic event characteristic of glass transition was observed, with an onset temperature of −34°C.  Various exothermic events were observed from 100 to 400°C, indicating decomposition.
