However, due to a combination of relatively poor sensitivity, slower than normal scan rates ( typically 2-3 °/ min-due to much heavier crucible ) and unknonwn activation energy, it is necessary to deduct about 75-100 ° C from the initial start of the observed exotherm to suggest a maximum temperature for the material.
