Description of key information
Additional information
Calcium dihydrate is easily soluble in water (1.73 g/L). In aqueous solution calcium dihydroxide readiliy reacts with HCO3-, precipitating to calcium carbonate. This reaction is strongly dependent on pH. CaCO3 (lime) is fairly insoluble.
There is no reliable data available on this test substance, however the analogue Calcium chloride was assessed extensively within the OECD HPV programme (OECD SIDS 2002). All the data compiled on the acute and chronic toxicity for Calcium chloride were greater than 100 mg/L.
Calcium dihydroxyde is a base and may lead to pH-changes in the aquatic environment.
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.
