Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Boiling point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Boiling point was waived based on a high melting point value of reaction mass of cerium dioxide and lanthanum oxide and lanthanum fluoride (> 500 °C).
Data on constituents:
CeO2: >400°C,
La2O3: > 400°C,
LaF3: 2327°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the boiling point study does not need to be performed for solid substances showing a melting point superior to 300°C. And, the melting point of reaction mass of cerium dioxide and lanthanum oxide and lanthanum fluoride is superior to 500°C (Défitraces study N°10-918025-011, 2010).
Two experimental studies, scored as Klimisch 2, are however available for two of the constituents of the reaction mass, and confirmed that cerium dioxide and lanthanum oxide do not boil up to 400 °C (Weissenfeld M., 2006a, b). The experimental result on lanthanum oxide is further supported by handbooks, scored as Klimisch 2, reporting consistently high boiling point values (4200 °C). An handbook data, scored as Klimisch 2 (Pascal et al., 1956), also indicates a boiling point of 2327 °C for lanthanum fluoride.
All these data on the three constituents were selected as supporting studies.
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.
