Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Melting point: > 450 °C (study result, EU A.1 method).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
For the evaluation of this endpoint, results from a guideline conform study (EU A.1 method) were used as key information supported by data from the CRC handbook, the Merck index, the Römpp lexicon and the Holleman and Wiberg handbook. The available and generated data describe a melting point of greater than 450 °C for calcium oxide under given test conditions. Literature data for calcium carbonate also show the melting point to be greater than 450 °C and grades of calcium oxide with up to 35% calcium carbonate are not expected to be significantly different to that given by the key study.
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.
