Experiment 1



A small endothermic peak between 41 and 68°C. A large endothermic peak between 85 and 122°C (maximum at 107°C and extrapolated onset temperature at 97°C); this effect is assumed to be caused by melting of the test substance. At > 200°C a small endothermic effect was observed. After the experiment the sample appeared to have been molten and had a yellow colour. Mass loss: 2%. DSC curve: see illustration.


Experiment 2


A small endothermic peak between 40 and 65°C. No changes in appearance and weight. 


Experiment 3


Two endothermic peaks: a small one between 40 and 65°C and a large one between 84 and 113°C. Extrapolated onset temperature of the large peak:98°C. After the experiment the sample had molten; the molten sample was colourless. No significant change in weight.


Experiment 4


Run 1: small endothermic effect  between 39 and 65°C.


Run 2: large endothermic peak  between 73 and 122°C; extrapolated onset temperature: 97°C. Above about 244°C a small endothermic effect was observed. After the experiment the sample appeared to have been molten and had a yellow-brown colour. Mass loss: 0.5%.


Conclusions:
The melting temperature of the substance was determined to be 97°C.
Executive summary:

Differential Scanning Calorimetry was performed (EC A.1 and OECD 102). DSC showed a small endothermic effect at < 70°C, a large endothermic melting effect between about 73-123°C and a small endothermic effect starting at about 200°C. The melting temperature (extrapolated onset temperature of the meling peak) was determined in triplicate obtaining a mean value of 97°C.  Reaction and/or decomposition of the substance occurs from 200°C upwards.
