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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Oxidising properties
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- oxidising solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials
Reference
Description of key information
Molybdenum has no oxidising properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- non oxidising
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Molybdenum metal does not require classification for oxidising properties. Molybdenum metal does not contain a surplus of oxygen or any structural groups known to be correlated with a tendency to react exothermally with combustible material (cf. Annex VII section 7.13, Column 2 of Regulation 1907/2006). In addition, a test according to UN method O.1 was conducted with molybdenum trioxide and revealed that MoO3 does not exhibit oxidising properties. Since MoO3 represents the molybdenum compound with the highest oxidation state, it is concluded by way of extrapolation that molybdenum metal should also be considered to lack such oxidising properties.
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.
