Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Melting point (EDTMP-xCaNa): >400°C (EU Method A.1)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The sample was observed to undergo a minor exothermic effect from 165.6°C. An endothermic effect was then observed to commence at 285.7°C. There was no significant exothermic effect observed up to 400°C (i.e no melting behaviour was observed for the substance) in accordance with EU Method A.1 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered reliable and selected as key study.
Reviewer's remark: The exothermic effect observed from 165.6°C could be as a result of decomposition of the sample material. This statement is supported by another study result from the same author (Rowe 2002, report number: 18602) which showed that the test substance undergoes thermal decomposition (substance discoloured to brown or black) during both preliminary and main studies.
A melting point range of 200 - 225°C was reported in secondary sources to which no reliability could be assigned.
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.
