Description of key information
The endpoint 'melting point' has been addressed with a weight of evidence approach' in accordance with Annex XI, Section 1.2 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH). All available data indicate the melting point of tetrapotassium pyrophosphate to be >300°C (values vary according to source)..
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 600 °C
