Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The test material Potassium-(S)-lactate is a solid having strong hygroscopic properties and therefore can only be obtained as aqueous solution. Hence, this study does not need to be conducted.
Executive summary:

The test material Potassium-(S)-lactate is a solid having strong hygroscopic properties and therefore can only be obtained as aqueous solution. Hence, this study does not need to be conducted.

Description of key information

The substance as such is a solid. However, the marketed product is an aqueous solution which cannot be transformed into a solid substance (by evaporation) due to strong hygroscopic properties of potassium-(S)-lactate. Thus, in accordance with REACH Annex XI, section 2, it is technically not possible to determine the relative self-ignition temperature of the solid substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
