Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
- Deviations:

- Type of method:
- differential scanning calorimetry
- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- > 500 °C
- Conclusions:
- The melting point of dilithium tetraborate was determined using differential calorimetey according to EU Method A.1. The melting point of the test item was therefore determined to be >500°C.
- Executive summary:
The melting point of dilithium tetraborate was determined using differential calorimetry according to EU Method A.1. A sample of dilithium tetraborate was charged to an open aluminium DSC crucible which was placed in the furnace. The sample was then ramped from 25°C to 500°C at 10 K.min-1. Endotherms were noted at 143.12°C and 240.34°C, however, upon completion of the DSC testing the sample remained unchanged; therefore the endothermic events observed during the test are not associated with melting. The melting point of the sample was therefore determined to be >500°C.

Additional information
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.
