Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Justification for type of information:
Assessment made by manufacturer and corresponds to handbook date.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Maplelab Scientific Melting Point Device MPD02
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
capillary method
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch number of test material : Z-09-2715
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 500 °C
Decomposition:
yes
Remarks:
To chromium oxide
Decomp. temp.:
> 300 °C

Above 300oC. Experience from manufacture and use suggest that there is no specific melting point and instead the substance will oxidise at high temperatures. This was confirmed by heating to 500oC with the formation of chromium oxide

Conclusions:
Above 300 oC. Experience from manufacture and use suggest that there is no specific melting point and instead the substance will oxidise at high temperatures. This was confirmed by heating to 500 oC with the formation of chromium oxide
Executive summary:

Above 300oC. Experience from manufacture and use suggest that there is no specific melting point and instead the substance will oxidise at high temperatures. This was confirmed by heating to 500oC with the formation of chromium oxide.

 

During normal use and handling, and certainly under biological and environmental conditions, the substance will remain solid.
