Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
10 November 2017
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
In-house study
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Differential scanning calorimetry was used to assess melting point. The system was checked with a certified reference sample, BaCO3, for melting point accuracy and it is within specification.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Melting / freezing pt.:
767.4 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Average of 3 replicates

The DSC traces show additional features with onsets at 557.3 °C ± 3.4 °C, 650.8 °C ± 0.4 °C, and 922.1 °C ± 0.4 °C.

Conclusions:
The test item had a melting point of 767.4 +/- 0.4.
Executive summary:

Knäbbeler-Buß (2017) is not GLP-compliant but used an appropriate method in order to determine the melting point of the test item (differential scanning calorimetry) and is acceptable with restrictions (Klimisch 2). The test item was determined to have a melting point of 767.4 +/- 0.4, based on the average of three measurements.

Description of key information

The test item had a melting point of 767.4 +/- 0.4 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
767.4 °C

Additional information

Johnson Matthey (2017) is not GLP-compliant but used an appropriate method in order to determine the melting point of the test item (differential scanning calorimetry) and is acceptable with restrictions (Klimisch 2). The test item was determined to have a melting point of 767.4 +/- 0.4 °C, based on the average of three measurements.
