Description of key information
According to the provisions of EU A.17 method, expert judgement considered calcium dihydroxide as a non-oxidising substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising
Additional information
According to the provisions of EU A.17 method, expert judgement considered calcium dihydroxide as a non-oxidising substance.
The structure of calcium carbonate was assessed for chemical groups that would indicate oxidising properties and was found to contain no such groups. Therefore, the oxidising properties of calcium carbonate have been predicted negative based on the chemical structure and experience of handling and use. On this basis all grades of calcium dihydroxide may be considered to be non-oxidising, irrespective of the calcium carbonate content.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Calcium dihydroxide and calcium carbonate are both considered to be non-oxidising based on structure, hence all grades of calcium dihydroxide are considered not to require classification.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
