SummaryThe melting points of binary mixtures of tetrabromostearic acid and hexabromostearic acid are reported. The system shows a eutectic between 9 and 10% by weight of hexabromide and at a temperature of 112°C. It has been shown that it is necessary to report heating time and rate as well as melting point for hexabromostearic acid because of its extreme sensitivity to heat.
