Chromium triformate

Flash point

Administrative data

Endpoint:

flash point of flammable liquids

Data waiving:

study technically not feasible

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids

Justification for type of information:

The substance is a solid

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:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail

Justification for type of information:

Assessment made by manufacturer and corresponds to handbook data.

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Maplelab Scientific Melting Point Device MPD02

GLP compliance:

no

Type of method:

capillary method

Key result

Melting / freezing pt.:

> 400 °C

Decomposition:

ambiguous

Remarks:

To chromium oxide

Decomp. temp.:

> 400 °C

Experience from manufacture and use suggest that there is no specific melting point and instead the substance will oxidise at high temperatures.

Conclusions:

Experience from manufacture and use suggest that there is no specific melting point and instead the substance will oxidise at high temperatures.

Executive summary:

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 2 hours. Also in this case, it was noticed that the substance still did not melt.
