Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The reaction mass of cerium dioxide and zirconium dioxide is an inorganic substance described as a yellow powder.
Executive summary:

The test item was described in GLP-compliant studies intended to assess other physicochemical endpoints. The reaction mass of cerium dioxide and zirconium dioxide is an inorganic substance described as a yellow powder.

Description of key information

The reaction mass of cerium dioxide and zirconium dioxide is an inorganic substance described as a yellow powder. This conclusion is based on visual observation of a representative nanoform, but also holds for any potential bulk form, should such form be placed on the market.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid
Form:
solid: particulate/powder
Colour:
yellow

Additional information

Two GLP-compliant studies (Demangel, 2010a,b), intended to assess other physicochemical endpoints, provide a description of the test item (nanoform). Both studies were performed on the same substance sample. Therefore, they were reported in one endpoint study record which was flagged as a key study.
