Results and discussion
- Results:
- Hypophosphorus acid forms colourless deliquescent crystals which decompose above 130°C to phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hydrogen and phosphine, the latter containing sufficient diphosphine to make it spontaneously flammable.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Phosphinic acid forms colourless deliquescent crystals which decompose above 130°C to phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hydrogen and phosphine, the latter containing sufficient diphosphine to make it spontaneously flammable.
- Executive summary:
According to different relevant sources (handbooks, peer review papers) phosphinic acid forms colourless deliquescent crystals which decompose above 130°C to phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hydrogen and phosphine, the latter containing sufficient diphosphine to make it spontaneously flammable.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
