  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007270",
  "term": "Metatectic reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A three-phase invariant reaction in a binary or multicomponent system where, upon cooling, a liquid phase transforms into a solid phase and another liquid phase. This reaction is characterized by the decomposition of one liquid into a solid and a second liquid phase at a constant temperature. It is a type of peritectic reaction involving two liquid phases.",
