Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 266-340-9 | CAS number: 66402-68-4 This category encompasses the various chemical substances manufactured in the production of ceramics. For purposes of this category, a ceramic is defined as a crystalline or partially crystalline, inorganic, non-metallic, usually opaque substance consisting principally of combinations of inorganic oxides of aluminum, calcium, chromium, iron, magnesium, silicon, titanium, or zirconium which conventionally is formed first by fusion or sintering at very high temperatures, then by cooling, generally resulting in a rigid, brittle monophase or multiphase structure. (Those ceramics which are produced by heating inorganic glass, thereby changing its physical structure from amorphous to crystalline but not its chemical identity are not included in this definition.) This category consists of chemical substances other than by-products or impurities which are formed during the production of various ceramics and concurrently incorporated into a ceramic mixture. Its composition may contain any one or a combination of these substances. Trace amounts of oxides and other substances may be present. The following representative elements are principally present as oxides but may also be present as borides, carbides, chlorides, fluorides, nitrides, silicides, or sulfides in multiple oxidation states, or in more complex compounds.@Aluminum@Lithium@Barium@Magnesium@Beryllium@Manganese@Boron@Phosphorus@Cadmium@Potassium@Calcium@Silicon@Carbon@Sodium@Cerium@Thorium@Cesium@Tin@Chromium@Titanium@Cobalt@Uranium@Copper@Yttrium@Hafnium@Zinc@Iron@Zirconium

General information: No special measures required.
After inhalation: In case of inhalation of dust remove to fresh air.
After skin contact: After skin contact with the dust wash with plenty of warm water and soap.
After eye contact: After contact with dust flush open eyes with running water during several minutes. If the trouble persists seek medical advice.
After swallowing: After ingestion of dust rinse out mouth and drink plenty of water.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing agents: Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions.
Protective equipment: No special measures required.
Accidental release measures
Person-related safety precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid formation of dust.
Measures for environmental protection: Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water course.
Measures for cleaning/collecting: Pick up mechanically, dust-free, e.g. by moistening with water, and dispose according to regulations.
Additional information: No dangerous substances are released.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Additional information about design of technical facilities: If machines are used provide local air exhaust or sufficient ventilation of workplace.
Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: Not required.
Additional information: It is recommended to check the indicated national limit values at workplace before using the product. Observe general dust limit independent from composition.
Personal protective equipment:
General protective and hygienic measures: Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Do not eat, drink, smoke or sniff while working.
Respiratory protection: Suitable respiratory protective device recommended. Use suitablerespiratory protective device when high concentrations are present, Filter P1 - P3.
Protection of hands: The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the preparation.
Stability and reactivity
Thermal decomposition/conditions to be avoided: No decomposition if used according to specifications.
Materials to be avoided: dangerous reactions: No dangerous reactions known.
Dangerous decomposition products: No dangerous decomposition products known.
Disposal considerations
Product:
Recommendation: Disposal must be made according to official regulations. Before elimination: Check whether the product has absorbed further substances during its use, and therefore has to be assigned to another waste group than initially recommended.
European waste catalogue:
16 11 03 other linings and refractories from metallurgical processes containing dangerous substances
06 03 16 metallic oxides other than those mentioned in 06 03 15
17 01 03 tiles and ceramics
Uncleaned packaging:
Recommendation: Disposal must be made according to official regualtions.
Recommended cleansing agents: Water, if necessary together with cleansing agents.
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.
