Results in detail:

No melting temperature was found between -100 °C and 40 °C, even by addition of aluminum oxide powder as crystallization aid

and annealing at -100 °C and -80 °C (determination Test 2).

A glass transition was found at -108 °C in the 1st heating.

Determination  glass transition temperature (°C) 
 Test 3  -107.79
 Test 4  -108.00
 mean value  -108

The glass transition was measured with a heating rate of 20 K/min according to DIN EN ISO 11357.

Observed thermal processes:

In order to survey the thermal behavior of the test item a TG/DSCTest

(non-GLP) was run up to 810 °C.

An endothermal peak starting at about 80 °C with a weight loss of about 99 % at 200 °C was observed. This is presumably due to the

the vaporization or decomposition of the test item.
