Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In accordance with section 1, annex XI of regulation (EC) 1907/2006 testing of flammability is not considered to be required. Oxidising compounds are materials that can easily transfer oxygen to other compounds. i.e. they contain weakly bound oxygen, for example NO3 and peroxides. Bound oxygen must become available through a low energy degradation route with a low energy of activation to elicit any explosive reaction. TiO2 does not exhibit oxidising properties. Since titanium dioxide represents the titanium compound with the highest oxidation status, it is concluded by way of extrapolation that UGI (containing > 80% titanlium in oxide form) should also be considered to lack such properties. Further, the anionic species in this titanium compound is not known to be associated in any way with oxidising properties.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In accordance with section 1, annex XI of regulation (EC) 1907/2006 testing of flammability is not considered to be required. Oxidising compounds are materials that can easily transfer oxygen to other compounds. i.e. they contain weakly bound oxygen, for example NO3 and peroxides. Bound oxygen must become available through a low energy degradation route with a low energy of activation to elicit any explosive reaction.
TiO2 does not exhibit oxidising properties. Since titanium dioxide represents the titanium compound with the highest oxidation status, it is concluded by way of extrapolation that UGI (containing >91% TiO2) should also be considered to lack such properties.
Further, the anionic species in this titanium compound is not known to be associated in any way with oxidising properties.
