Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Partition coefficient

Waived based on inorganic nature

Water solubility

0.16 µg/L

(0.071 µg Ce/L)

< 0.123 µg/L

(< 0.1 µg Ce/L)

 < 55 µg/L

(< 40.8 µg Zr/L)

Surface tension

Waived based on low water solubility

Flash point

Waived based on inorganic nature

Flammability

No potential to be flammable based on chemical structure

Non flammable

No potential to be flammable based on chemical structure 

Explosiveness

No potential for explosiveness based on chemical structure

Non explosive

No potential for explosiveness based on chemical structure 

Oxidising properties

No potential for oxidising properties based on chemical structure

No oxidising properties

 No potential for oxidising properties based on chemical structure

Stability in organic solvents

Waived based on inorganic nature

Dissociation constant

Waived as technically not feasible

Viscosity

Waived based on solid physical state

 Auto flammability No potential to be auto flammable based on chemical structure  Not auto flammable  No potential to be auto flammable based on chemical structure

These data clearly show that the reaction mass and its constituents present highly similar physicochemical properties; supporting the relevance of potential read across with constituents when data on the reaction mass are not available.
