Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The pigment magnesium ferrite is environmentally and biologically inert due to the characteristics of the synthetic process (calcination at high temperatures, approximately 1000°C), rendering the substance to be of a unique, stable crystalline structure in which all atoms are tightly bound and not prone to dissolution in environmental and physiological media. Based on the resulting physico-chemical properties, especially the high insolubility of the pigment under environmental conditions, demonstrated by (Klawonn, 2017) via transformation/dissolution testing (7 and 28 days), the substance can be expected to not have a potential to cross or adsorb to biological membranes.

Therefore, no reversible or irreversible adverse toxicological effects on aquatic or terrestrial life-forms are expected, and a PNEC derivation is scientifically not justifiable.
