Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Overall result: Melting temperature greater than 450°C (>723 K). The test material underwent dehydration from approximately 421 K, but these thermal events were not associated with a phase transition (i.e. melting) of the test material.

Conclusions:
The test material was determined to have a melting temperature greater than 450°C (723 K). The test material underwent dehydration from approximately 421 K, but these thermal events were not associated with a phase transition (i.e. melting) of the test material.
Executive summary:
The test material was determined to have a melting temperature greater than 450°C (723 K), by differential scanning caloritry, using ASTM E537-86, Method A1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. Although the test material was identified as undergoing dehydration from approximately 421 K; these thermal events were not associated with a phase transition (i.e. melting) of the test material.

Description of key information

Melting point: > 450 °C (EU Method A.1, GLP) 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
450 °C

Additional information

The melting/freezing temperature of aluminium tris(dihydrogen phosphate) was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in a study conducted according to EU Method A.1 and GLP (O'Conner & Woolley, 2010). The melting point of the test material was determined to be greater than 450 °C (723 K).
