Reference
Endpoint:
temperature of decomposition (state purity)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1981
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Remarks:
peer-reviewed
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: not reported
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The thermogravimetric studies were carried out in air on a Stanton thermobalance at a heating rate of 6°C per min, and the simultaneous TG-DTA studies were made in an argon atmosphere on a Mettler thermal analyzer at a heating rate of 4°C per min.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
differential thermal analysis
Key result
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
> 275 - <= 325 °C
Conclusions:
The boiling point of Guanidinium nitrate can not be determined. The substance starts losing weight at 230°C and the decomposition is fast between 275- 325°C. The weight loss is found to be sluggish in the temperature range 325-500°C.
No residue was left behind at 500°C which suggests that the entire mass has been converted into gaseous products.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of Guanidinium nitrate can not be determined. The substance starts losing weight at 230°C and the decomposition is fast between 275- 325°C. The weight loss is found to be sluggish in the temperature range 325-500°C. No residue was left behind at 500°C which suggests that the entire mass has been converted into gaseous products.

No expothermal reaction shows at temperature below about 200 °C

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Temperature of decomposition (state purity):
230 °C

Additional information

The boiling point of Guanidinium nitrate can not be determined. The substance starts losing weight at 230°C and the decomposition is fast between 275- 325°C. The weight loss is found to be sluggish in the temperature range 325-500°C. No residue was left behind at 500°C which suggests that the entire mass has been converted into gaseous products (Udapa, 1982).
