Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

However, according to REACh legislation, Annex VII, 7.5, column 2, the study does not need to be conducted, since the melting point of sodium silicate is far above 300 °C.
