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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Aluminum sulfate cannot be oxidized and atmospheric transformations would not be expected to occur during transport. If aluminum metal particulates were released to air during metal processing, they would be rapidly oxidized.
It is not applicable for an inorganic compound wich dissociates
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Aluminum sulfate cannot be oxidized and atmospheric transformations would not be expected to occur during transport. If aluminum metal particulates were released to air during metal processing, they would be rapidly oxidized.
In air, hydrated aluminum sulfate will react with moisture and produce sulfuric acids, and aluminum oxide. Since these aluminum sulfate is usually not emitted to air, the amount of aluminum present in air would be negligible compared with the amount coming from natural erosion of soil.
