Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Diss Factsheets

Administrative data

Description of key information

No data are available on the reaction mass itself neither on the two components.

The reaction mass is a solution of two inorganic salts in water (calcium chloride and sodium chloride). These inorganic substances are naturally occurring in nature and the human body. In presence of water and in the human organism calcium chloride and sodium chloride will dissociate to form calcium, sodium and chloride ions which are essential for animal’s life. Because these three ions are not skin sensitizers it can be concluded that the reaction mass is also not a skin sensitizer.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

The two components of the reaction mass, calcium chloride and sodium chloride are considered not to have any sensitizing properties, based on the physiological role of the constituent ions, as well as the fact that sensitizing effects of the three ions have never been reported, despite long-term historical and wide dispersive use.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

No data are available on respiratory sensitization.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The two components of the reaction mass, calcium chloride and sodium chloride are considered not to have any sensitizing properties, based on the physiological role of the constituent ions, as well as the fact that sensitizing effects of the three ions have never been reported, despite long-term historical and wide dispersive use.

Because the constituents are not skin sensitizers it can be concluded that the reaction mass itself is also not a skin sensitizer.No classification is required according to UN and EU GHS criteria.
