Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Aluminum fluoride was reported to sublime at 1276°C (corresponding to 1549.15 K). The atmospheric pressure was not reported.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Information regarding boiling point of aluminum fluoride was sourced from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (81st Ed.), known to contain peer-reviewed data of Klimisch-2 reliability, which reports that the test substance sublimes at 1276°C prior to boiling. This is consistent with the information reported in the secondary source, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).  Conversely, based on the information obtained from the secondary source, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials (7th Ed.), the test substance boils at around 1537°C, while no information on the atmospheric pressure was reported. These data, although conflicting, all agree that given the high temperatures at which the test substance sublimes or boils, it is considered to be a non-volatile solid. Additionally, considering that the data obtained from the secondary sources are non-peer-reviewed and of Klimisch-4 reliability, they have not been included in this assessment.
