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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Based on the structure and experience in handling and use of the substance, it can be reasoned that explosivity is not a concern.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Silicon carbide does not contain chemical groups that are known to contribute to explosivity.
Silicon carbide is used as refractory material in combustion chambers of power plants, garbage incinerators and metal melting.
Silicon carbide has a decomposition temperature above 2500 °C.
These facts, the absence of structural alerts and the data from secondary literature provided indicate that silicon carbide is not explosive and testing for explosive properties is not necessary.
Justification for classification or non-classification
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.
