Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information

Skin irritation / corrosion
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (corrosive)
Eye irritation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (irritating)
Additional information
There are no studies available on the skin and eye irritant/corrosive potential of sodium aluminate.
In accordance with Column 2, Sections 8.1.1. and 8.2.1., of Annex VIII to the REACh Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006), these studies do not need to be conducted if the substance is a strong acid (pH < 2.0) or base (pH > 11.5). Sodium aluminate is a strong base (pH > 11.5) and is therefore considered as corrosive to the skin and mucous membranes.
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: corrosive
Effects on eye irritation: corrosive
Justification for classification or non-classification
Sodium aluminate is a strong base (pH > 11.5). Thus, sodium aluminate fulfils the DSD (67/548/EEC) and CLP (1272/2008/EC) criteria for classification as corrosive.
DSD: R35
CLP: Skin Corr. Cat. 1A
Moreover, sodium aluminate in solid state fulfils the CLP criteria for additional labelling as corrosive to the respiratory tract (EUH071).
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.
