Description of key information
A weight-of-evidence approach was used to address this endpoint. Values were obtained from six separate sources and ranged from approximately 2000 °C to 2072 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 2 000 °C
Additional information
All available data sources agree that the melting point of aluminum oxide is approximately 2000 °C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
