Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The determination of the melting and boiling point of CARMINE LAKE was performed via DSC (differential scanning calorimetry).
Based on the observations of the pre-test, the endotherm event could be indicated as de-hydration under decomposition, evaluated with onset function. Event marker function was used to evaluate the beginning and ending of the event.
Therefore no melting and no boiling point could be determined under these circumstanc-es as the test substance decomposed.

Description of key information

No melting point could be determined under these circumstances as the test substance decomposed

Key value for chemical safety assessment
