Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The information on the physical and chemical properties were from experimental results with test sample provided by Lead Registrant, or either cited from peer-reviewed database or handbooks, or publications. These studies followed standard guidelines for methodology and so the data is considered reliable and suitable for use. Expert judgement-based waiving are applied for the endpoints on which tests are not necessary.
The reference substance Aluminium chlorohydrate (dialuminium chloride pentahydroxide) is a dense, crystalline powder at ambient temperature, with negligible volatility anticipated. In water, it is very soluble, without surface-active properties, and complex pH-dependent speciation.
It is not classified for physical hazards, based on CLP criteria, but solutions may be corrosive to metals.
Additional information
Summary of relevant physico-chemical properties:
Endpoint |
|
Appearance |
Solid (white crystalline powder) |
Melting Point / Boiling Point |
primary decomposition corresponding to crystal water loss from ca 75°C; no mp/bp up to 400°C |
Relative density |
1.95 (true density) |
Granulometry |
Process-dependent. |
Vapour pressure |
Not required (mp>300°C), expected << 0.01 Pa. |
Partition coefficient |
Not required (inorganic) |
Water solubility |
Aluminium chlorohydrate is considered as a very soluble salt (>> 100 g/L), however aluminium speciation rapidly leads to salting out to various degrees which are water quality-, and especially highly pH-dependent. Solubility of monomeric Al can descend as low as 12 µg Al/L. |
Surface tension |
75.3 mN/m at 1 g/L |
Flammability |
Flash Point not required (solid, inorganic) No propagation of combustion, not a flammable solid. Not self-heating. Not pyrophoric. No release of flammable gas anticipated if contact with water (based on experience). |
Explosive properties |
No potential (based on chemical structure). |
Oxidising properties |
No potential (based on chemical structure). |
Stability in organic solvents |
Not required (inorganic) |
Dissociation constant |
Not required (forms various hydroxides and polymeric species, depending on pH). |
Self-reactive properties |
No potential (based on chemical structure). |
Organic peroxide |
Not a peroxide (inorganic). |
Metal corrosivity |
100% mass loss on aluminium with 2 days (from analogue). |
Numerical values above are given for a typical grade containing 24.7%w/w Al.
As an UVCB, it should be noted that the above parameters may show some variations.
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).
