- Conclusions:
- This substance is a UVCB characterised as Silicic acid (H4SiO4), zirconium(4+) salt (1:1), reaction products with sodium hydroxide (304-802-4, 94279-56-8). It is the product of a reaction between Zircon (EC no 239-019-6) and sodium hydroxide. In common with other or similar substances and has a very high melting point; from theoretical considerations, the melting point would be expected to be significantly in excess of 500°C (873K); this is evidenced by the fact that the finished products emerges from a furnace at >500°C in a solid form. The melting point would be almost impossible to measure with any degree of accuracy. The melting point of this substance may therefore be stated as >500°C.

Additional information
This substance is an inorganic silicate and, in common with other or similar substances and has a very high melting point; from theoretical considerations, the melting point would be expected to be significantly in excess of 500°C (873K); this is evidenced by the fact that the finished products emerges from a furnace at>500°C in a solid form. The melting point would be almost impossible to measure with any degree of accuracy. The melting point of this substance may therefore be stated as>500°C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
