Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Sodium aluminate is a strong base (pH > 11.5) and thus fulfils the criteria for classification as corrosive to the skin (category 1A) according to CLP regulation (1272/2008/EC). In addition, the substance also fulfills the requirements to be labelled as EUH071 corrosive to the respiratory tract. Thus, acute and/or repeated exposure via the dermal and/or inhalatory route would primarily result in local effects. Due to the corrosive properties of sodium aluminate, human exposure is unlikely to occur under normal working conditions as it should be avoided by implementation of the corresponding operational conditions and necessary risk management measures.
