- Identification: Reaction mass of crystalline magnesium silicate and crystalline silicon and synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide
Appearance/Physical state: black powder
Lot No: Y180510A
Purity: Mg-SiO 95 wt% Carbon 4.0 ± 2.0 %wt
Expiry date: 31 May 2019
Storage conditions: room temperature, in the dark - Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- > 450 °C
- Conclusions:
- The test item has been determined to not melt up to 450°C (723 K).
- Executive summary:
No melting occurred up to 450 °C (723 K) by differential scanning calorimetry, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
Reference
After heating to 450 °C, the samples had no measurable weight loss.
Overall result: no signs of melting up to 450°C (723 K)
