Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Melting / freezing pt.:
403 °C

Any other information on results incl. tables

The diagram of TG/DSC test in nitrogen atmosphere: The first endothermic peak in the curve is at the temperature range 403 – 441 °C, the second at the temperature range 560 – 579 °C and the third at the temperature range 679 – 713 °C. These peaks indicate that some compounds start to melt. As and Sb decreases melting point, for instance algordite (Cu, As) starts to melt at temperature 688 °C. The one exothermic peak is at the temperature range 779 – 849°C and the second at the temperature range 1177 – 1197 °C. These peaks indicate reactions with nitrogen. Still one endothermic peak in the curve is at the temperature range 1010 – 1065 °C. The mass of the sample starts to decrease at the temperature range 779 °C which indicates, that some compounds start to decompose and evaporate.


Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
