Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 266-340-9 | CAS number: 66402-68-4 This category encompasses the various chemical substances manufactured in the production of ceramics. For purposes of this category, a ceramic is defined as a crystalline or partially crystalline, inorganic, non-metallic, usually opaque substance consisting principally of combinations of inorganic oxides of aluminum, calcium, chromium, iron, magnesium, silicon, titanium, or zirconium which conventionally is formed first by fusion or sintering at very high temperatures, then by cooling, generally resulting in a rigid, brittle monophase or multiphase structure. (Those ceramics which are produced by heating inorganic glass, thereby changing its physical structure from amorphous to crystalline but not its chemical identity are not included in this definition.) This category consists of chemical substances other than by-products or impurities which are formed during the production of various ceramics and concurrently incorporated into a ceramic mixture. Its composition may contain any one or a combination of these substances. Trace amounts of oxides and other substances may be present. The following representative elements are principally present as oxides but may also be present as borides, carbides, chlorides, fluorides, nitrides, silicides, or sulfides in multiple oxidation states, or in more complex compounds.@Aluminum@Lithium@Barium@Magnesium@Beryllium@Manganese@Boron@Phosphorus@Cadmium@Potassium@Calcium@Silicon@Carbon@Sodium@Cerium@Thorium@Cesium@Tin@Chromium@Titanium@Cobalt@Uranium@Copper@Yttrium@Hafnium@Zinc@Iron@Zirconium
Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Inhalation: Make the person breath in fresh air. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
Contact with the skin: Remove soiled clothes and wash the skin with soap and water.
Contact with the eyes: Rinse abundantly with water. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
Ingestion: Should it be the case, rinse out mouth with water and drink abundant quantities of water.
Fire-fighting measures
The product is not flammable and will not support a flame. It does not promote combustion with other materials.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: It is preferable for a dust mask to be worn.
Environmental precautions: Avoid emission of dust. Prevent entry to sewers / surface or ground water.
Clean-up methods: For large amounts, preferable use dry methods, while avoiding dust exposure. Do not empty materials into drains, sewers or water cources as the fines harden in contact with water.
Handling and storage
Storage:
Store the product in a dry place, preferably protected by a plastic cover, or in a silo.
Handling:
A ventilation system is recommended to be used during handling of the product (unloading, mixing, transport, packing in sacks etc.) in order to evacuate dust.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters:
Particles not otherwise classified (ACGIH): Inhalable: TLV (TWA)= 10 mg/m³; Respirable: TLV (TWA)= 3 mg/m³.
Personal protection:
Hand protection: Protective clothing is recommended, including waterproof gloves, and boots.
Eye protection: Dust proof goggles should be worn whenever there is a risk of fines or wet mixture entering the eyes.
Repiratory protection: Suitable repiratory protection should be worn when the conditions are such that the personal exposure is estimated to approach or exceed the stated limits.
Ingestion: When manipulating do not eat, drink or smoke.
Stability and reactivity
Stability:
In dry environment, the product is chemically stable.
In presence of water, the product reacts chemically and harden for form stable hydrates. This reaction is exo-thermal and may last up to 24 hours. The total heat release is < 500 kJ/kg.
Dangerous decomposition products:
None known
Disposal considerations
The product is not industrial waste which requires specific treatment. Bags of unused material or empty contaminated packaging, as well as hardened residues may be disposed by landfill, if in accordance with local or national disposal regulations.
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.
