Justification for type of information:
Disodium titanate substance (EC 234-802-9) has the molecular formula Na2TiO3 and its composition is expressed as (Na2O)x(TiO2), where x is ranging from 0.1 to 6 according to the SIP. This substance, Reaction mass of Disodium Hexatitanate and Sodium Metatitanate, has a value of x = 0.21, calculated from XRF results, has been identified as a mixture of two specific types of disodium titanate and is therefore within the scope of the disodium titanate SIP. It is assessed therefore that disodium titanate is an acceptable read-across substance for Reaction mass of Disodium Hexatitanate and Sodium Metatitanate

Individual Results

Thermal Stability (DSC)

A DSC-measurement in closed glass crucible showed a small exothermal effect in a temperature range of 370 – 410 °C with energy of 15 J/g. This effect is related to the content of sodium hydroxide (referring to the MSDS) in the test item, which reacts with glass at higher temperatures.

 

Melting Point / Melting Range (DSC)

A measurement in stainless steel crucible with a hole showed a broad endothermic effect from the start of the measurement to app. 330 °C. No further effects have been observed up to the maximum temperature of 600 °C.

 

As the DSC run in the closed glass crucible showed no endothermic effect and the test item was unchanged after the measurement, it is concluded that no melting occurs. Therefore a second run was omitted.

 

Boiling Point / Boiling Range (DSC)

As no melting was observed, no boiling point could be determined.

Conclusions:
The test item showed no melting in the temperature range of 25 – 600 °C.

Description of key information

The test item showed no melting in the temperature range of 25 – 600 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test item showed no melting in the temperature range of 25 – 600 °C.
