Description of key information
Considering the high reactivity of zirconium tetrachloride with water or moisture and its fast hydrolysis, it may only be present in the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, or on the skin for a limited period of time.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Bioaccumulation potential:
- no bioaccumulation potential
Additional information
Zirconium tetrachloride, in contact with water or when moistened or in contact with moist skin or mucuous membranes, is quasi-instantaneously completely degraded in ZrOCl2 and hydrogen chloride. Moreover, ZrOCl2 is also unstable in contact with water and decompoes into ZrO2 (no hazardous substance) and HCl.
Considering this high reactivity, zirconium tetrachloride may only be present in the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, or on the skin for a limited period of time. Hence, toxicokinetic predictions based on the characteristics of zirconium tetrachloride are of limited relevance.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
