Description of key information
Additional information
Tantalum carbide is an inorganic gold-brown powder. The melting point of tantalum carbide is 3880 °C, and its boiling point is 4780 °C at 101325 hPa. The density of tantalum carbide at room temperature is 14.3 g/cm³.The median value of particle size of tantalum carbide was determined to be 1.27 µm. The water solubility is very low (0.333 µg/L after 7 days, 21.5 °C, loading 100 mg/L)
The substance is non-explosive and non-flammable and does not have oxidising properties. The self-ignition temperature of tantalum carbide is 381 °C.
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.
