Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Atm. press.:
1 Bar
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
> 700 °C
Conclusions:
Sodium cyanate decomposes. Determination of boiling point technically not feasible.

Description of key information

Sodium cyanate decomposes to NaCN, Na2CO3, N2 and CO at a temperature over 700°C. Determination of boiling point technically not feasible. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Weight of evidence approach:

2 different handbooks show the same value for boiling point (decomposition). This value is thus regarded as reliable.
