Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The sample shows no significant thermal events from 25 to 1000 °C. This result is in agreement with the crystalline phases present in the sample. The melting point of SnO2 is 1630 °C1, and the melting point of Co2 -XMgXSnO4 solid solution is presumably higher than the maximum temperture of the assay, because Co2SnO4 and MgSnO4 have a melting point higher than 1400 °C 2,3.
