Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
October 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The determination of the melting point of EDTA-CoNa2 is technically not feasible as the test item decomposes before melting.
By replacing the sodium moiety of EDTA-CoNa2 by hydrogen the stability will not change significantly, so the determination will not be possible neither.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Type of method:
differential scanning calorimetry
Key result
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
<= 178.47 °C
Conclusions:
The determination of the melting point of EDTA-CoNa2 is technically not feasible as the test item decomposes before melting.
The beginning of decomposition is state as 178.47 °C (451.62 K).
By replacing the sodium moiety of EDTA-CoNa2 by hydrogen the stability will not change significantly. Based on that it can be concluded that EDTA-CoH2 will not melt but decompose as well at or below 178.47 °C
