Description of key information
The melting point of magnesium chloride is reported to be 712°C (The Merck Index, CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 712 °C
Additional information
Several independent sources indicate that melting point of MgCl2 is 712°C at 101.3 kPa.
On the basis of Annex XI, section 1.2, a weight of evidence approach can be used. Several independant sources indicate that the endpoint is 712°C at 101.3 kPa. Therefore, we assume, that the results are valid and that testing does not appear necessary.
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).
