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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Overview of physico-chemical properties
| Parameter | Guideline(s) | Result | Comment |
| Freezing/Melting temperature | EC A.1 OECD 102 | 356°C | |
| Boiling temperature | Waived: The melting point is above 300°C. | Statement | |
| Density | EC A.3 OECD 109 | 2.34 at 23°C | |
| Particle size distribution (granulometry) | OECD 110 | Light microscopic examination revealed that the Potassium chlorate sample contained a significantly amount of fine powder and no fibres. | |
| ISO 2591-1 | This observation is confirmed by sieving the sample over a 100 µm sieve. The majority of the product (78.3 m/m %) appeared to be < 100µm . | ||
| ISO 3310-1 | The characteristics of the PSD of the fraction < 100 µm are: | ||
| Characteristics of the PSD | |||
| d10 [µm] 2.2 | |||
| d50 [µm] 17.3 | |||
| d90 [µm] 74 | |||
| Vapour pressure | Waived: The melting point is above 300°C. | Statement | |
| Partition coefficient | RA from sodium chlorate (CAS:7775 -09 -9) | log Kow < -2 | |
| Water solubility | EC A.6OECD 105 | 69.9 g/l | |
| Surface tension | Waived:based on the structure, surface activity is not expected and surface activity is not a desired property of the material. | Statement | |
| Flash-point | Waived: The study cannot be conducted because the substance is an inorganic solid. | Statement | |
| Auto flammability | |||
| EC A.16 | no relative self-ignition temperature | ||
| Flammability | EC A.10 | Not Flammable solid No pyrophoric, self-heating properties and no reaction with water are anticipated | |
| Explosive properties | EC A.14 / DSC screening | Waived based on screening DSC test, not explosive | Statement |
| Oxidizing properties | EC A.21 / screening test | Oxidizing, Cat.1 | |
| Stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products | Waived: The study does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic. | Statement | |
| Dissociation constant | Waived: Chlorate decomposes on acidification. | Statement | |
| Estimated pKa = -1 to -3 due to its strong acidity. | |||
| Viscosity | Waived: Potassium chlorate is a solid substance. Testing viscosity is therefore technically not feasible. | Statement |
For CLP there are additional data requirements that are not covered by REACH:
Gases under pressure | Pyrophoric
| Reaction with water | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Corrosive against metals | organic peroxide |
Waiving, not a gas | Waiving, not a pyrophoric | Waiving, no reaction with water anticipated | Waiving, because the substance is a pure oxidizing solid | Data available, Conclusive but not sufficient for classification. | waiving, not an organic peroxide |
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.
