Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

No key information is available on the melting point of dipraseodymium dizirconium heptaoxide. However, based on a weight of evidence approach including data available for its individual constituents praseodymium(III,IV) oxide and zirconium dioxide, the melting point of the substance can be concluded to be > 2183°C.

Initially, this substance was considered as a reaction mass and named "reaction mass of praseodymium(III,IV) oxide and zirconium dioxide".
But after discussion with ECHA, it was stipulated that it is a substance and we had to change the name to "Dipraseodymium dizirconium heptaoxide".

So, in the different endpoints with studies, the sustance named "reaction mass of praseodymium(III,IV) oxide and zirconium dioxide" corresponds to the substance Dipraseodymium dizirconium heptaoxide. They are the same, the analytical dossier did not changed.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

1. Information on praseodymium(III,IV) oxide

Based on information obtained from the CRC handbook of chemistry and physics (Lide, 2009) the melting point of praseodymium(III,IV) oxide is 2183°C.

2. Information on zirconium dioxide

According to the CRC handbook of chemistry and physics (Lide, 2001) and the Merck Index (O'Neil, 2006), the melting point of zirconium dioxide is 2710 and 2680°C, respectively.

3. Conclusion on the substance dipraseodymium dizirconium heptaoxide

It is expected that the substance has a similarly high melting point as its individual constituents praseodymium(III,IV) oxide and zirconium dioxide. The melting point of the substance is expected to be higher than the lowest melting point of its individual constituents, i.e. > 2183°C. No exact value is required since melting points > 300°C are considered environmentally irrelevant.
