Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

ca. 130 °C
Conclusions:
For Anthrachinon-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt no melting point could be detected (1,017 hPa) according to EC A.1.
Executive summary:

The test was performed as stipulated in EC Test Procedure A.1 'Melting/Freezing Temperature' – ASTM E 537 ‘Standard method for assessing the thermal stability of chemicals by methods of differential thermal analysis’.

The Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) was used. This technique records the difference of the temperature of a substance and an empty measuring cell. The substance and reference cell were subjected to the same controlled temperature programme. The screening-DTA (heating rate 3 K/min, closed glass ampoule) of the sample shows several

endothermic effects. Between about 130 °C and 230 °C and from about 300 °C endothermic effects are detected which indicates an endothermic decomposition. The second run of the sample shows that the endothermic effect observed at

about 420 °C is the melting of the decomposition product of the original sample.

For Anthrachinon-2 -sulfonic acid sodium salt no melting point could be detected (1,017 hPa) according to EC A.1.
