Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
No studies have been conducted on the reaction mass of CaF2, CaSO4 and CaCO3. Instead information is available on the 3 different constituents.
Calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate, are ubiquitous in the environment and essential to living organims : no long-term studies are available and no hazards are expected for both constituents.
No studies are available for calcium fluoride. Available studies on NaF were used as read-across source. The chosen key value was the lowest reported NOEC, among the available studies, in a 29 days test J- check 2010 study with NaF and Oryzias latipes. The LOEC and NOEC are ≥ 9.9 mg/L NaF (the highest test concentration) which related to >9.2 mg/L CaF2.
On the basis of the available NOEC for CaF2, the NOEC value for the reaction mass can be concluded: > 18.4 mg RM/L. This value is calculated by taking into account that the reaction mass contains only 50% of CaF2 (ca. 47.5 w/w % CaF2) and that the additional of Ca2+ through CaSO4 and CaCO3 would even further reduce the toxicity of CaF2 as free F- will be complexed.

Additional information
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.
