Description of key information

Chromium trichloride in anhydrous form melts at approx. 1150 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
1 150 °C

Additional information

Whereas chromium trichloride in anhydrous form melts at approx. 1150 °C, the hexahydrate form of chromium trichloride melts at 83 °C (presumably under loss of crystal water, which boils off leaving the anhydrous form behind at higher temperatures).
