Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Above 300 degrees C in the presence of air and metals, or in the presence of light, phosgene (COCl2) is developed which may further react in a humid atmosphere to carbon dioxide and hydrochloric acid.
Above 600 degrees C, CCl4 decomposes with the formation of chlorine and mainly tetrachloroethene. CCl4 is not stable in the presence of alkali- or other light metals, including aluminum. Explosive type reaction courses are observed with alkali- and earth alkali metals.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
