Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In accordance with Section 2 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be conducted as the substance decomposes producing flammable gas on contact with moisture. However, data from published literature was used to examine the reaction of Aluminium Nitride with water to produce Aluminium hydroxide and ammonia.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with Section 2 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be conducted as the substance reacts in contact with water producing flammable gas. The constituents of the substance have no bonds prone to hydrolysis, apart from aluminum nitride. The reaction behavior of AlN with water yielded the following results. Higher temperature and larger surface area of AlN accelerates the hydrolysis The hydrolysis behavior changed at 351 K. Below 351 K crystalline bayerite and NH3 were produced, while crystalline boehmite and NH3 were produced a above 351 K.The hydrolysis of AlN powder was accelerated in NaOH aq and HCl aq in comparison with in deionized water.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
