Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Because of the chemical similarity of the candidate substance and cadmium oxide, the melting point and thermal decomposition temperature values reported for cadmium oxide are also considered to be applicable to the candidate substance.
