Chromium chloride, basic

Auto flammability

Administrative data

Endpoint:

relative self-ignition temperature (solids)

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

other:

Justification for type of information:

The material has been heated in air at up to 1000 C in a furnace
There was no evidence of violent exotherm or combustion.
Inorganic salts are not typicallly considered likely to auto-ignite on heating.

Cross-reference

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

data waiving: supporting information

Reference

Endpoint:

melting point/freezing point

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Justification for type of information:

Testing performed by manufacturer and results compared with published figures.

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Melting point estimate was carried out using a Maplelab Scientific Melting Point Device MPD02.

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

hot stages

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Batch number of test material: B-03-3167

Key result

Melting / freezing pt.:

> 300 °C

Atm. press.:

ca. 1 atm

Decomposition:

no

Sublimation:

no

Substance did not melt at the upper temperature limit of the meter, 300 °C; subsequently it was placed in a furnace at a temperature >400 °C, for a couple of hours. Also in this case, it was noticed that the substance did not melt. When heated to decomposition it developed irritating fumes and vapours of hydrogen chloride gases.

Conclusions:
