Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Monochloramine does not exist as a pure substance at room temperature. Pure monochloramine is gaseous and decomposes violently at low temperatures (-40°C). Therefore, the substance is produced and handled in form of aqueous solutions only. In general, low concentrations monochloramine solutions are producedin situin concentrations up to 10 g/L. Thus, physico-chemical properties were determined on concentrations up to 10 g/L.

The pH of the monochloramine solution was measured during routine analyses. At a concentration of 5.9 g/L the pH was measured at 12.5 and the monochloramine is considered as basic; while at a lower concentration (0.25 mg/L) the pH was neutral (pH of 8.3).

The free alkalinity was determined to be 0.0914 NaOH (%mass/mass) with a pH of 13.36 in a test performed in compliance with GLP and according to a standardized method.
