Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 target chemical aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex is a solid with particle size greater than inhalable size particles. Also, it has a low vapor pressure (0.000000000133 Pa). Thus, exposure by the inhalation route is improbabale. Also given the use of the chemical as a food color, oral route of exposure shall be the most dominant.
However, food colors are used in small quantities and hence absorption is also expected to be low. In addition, the bio-concentration factor (BCF) of the chemical is also low (3.162). Thus, considering all the above factors it can be concluded that the bio-accumulation potential of the chemical shall be low.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Bioaccumulation potential:
- low bioaccumulation potential
Additional information
A weight of evidence has been adopted in predicting the bio-accumulation potential of the target chemical aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex. In-vivo studies in Rat and Rabbit with the read-across chemicaldisodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulphonatophenyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate have shown that the chemical is rapidly metabolized and excreted out of the living system through urine and fecal route.Therefore, it has been concluded that the target chemical is also unlikely to bio-accumulate in-vivo.
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).
