Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
16. - 16. Feb. 2009
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Version / remarks:
resp. EU A.1
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
instead of heating electrically, the aluminium block was heated with a gas burner in order to yield a higher temperature, considered as uncritical
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:

Type of method:
capillary method
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
> 400 °C

No signs of melting were observed. No defined melting point or range could be determined.

The detection limit of the test system is between -80°C and 400°C. The melting point of the test item is much higher, the test item did not even melt in the flame of the gas burner.

Therefore, the melting point of silicid acid, aluminium magnesium sodium salt should be stated as > 400°C.

Description of key information

>400°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The melting point is >400°C.
