Oxidising properties
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising liquids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- Endpoint:
- oxidising properties, other
- Type of information:
- not specified
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- secondary literature
- Remarks:
- Data comes from a secondary source, accepted as a reliable data source; however it does not refer to the parent substance nor directly to the property of concern under the present point, therefore reliability cannot be granted.
- Conclusions:
- No oxidising hazard anticipated, based on use as fireproofing agent for combustible material.
- Executive summary:
A reference handbook, also cited in a reference database, provides a list of main uses of the substance, including fireproofing of clothes.
- Endpoint:
- oxidising properties, other
- Type of information:

- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 4 (not assignable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- secondary literature
- Remarks:
- Data comes from a secondary source, accepted as a reliable data source; however it does not refer to the parent substance nor directly to the property of concern under the present point, therefore reliability cannot be granted.
- Conclusions:
- No oxidising hazard anticipated, based on use as a flame retardant.
- Executive summary:
Two reference handbooks, also cited in a reference database, state that the substance is used as a flame retardant.
- Endpoint:
- oxidising properties, other
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Conclusions:
- From uses of analogues, no oxidising properties are anticipated for the target substance.
- Executive summary:
According to literature, analogues aluminium hydroxide is used as a flame retardant, and aluminium sulphate is used as fireproofing agent for combustible material (clothes).

Uses:
Tanning leather, sizing paper, mordant in dyeing; purifying water; manufacture lakes, aluminum resinate; fireproofing and waterproofing cloth; clarifying oils and fats; treating sewage; waterproofing concrete; deodorizing and decolorizing petroleum; antiperspirants; agricultural pesticides; manufacture of aluminum salts.
Used in flame retardants.
Description of key information
Low potential based on chemical structure.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
Based on the chemical structure, no oxidising properties are anticipated.
Moreover, supporting literature data indicates that two analogue substances are used as a fireproofing agent or flame retardant, therefore as a weight of evidence, it should not enhance fire.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The chemical structure fulfills the exemption criteria of Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP).
