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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Aluminium sulphate is stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure. Aluminium sulphate is stable if stored under dry, cool conditions. Incompatible with oxidising agents (eg. hypochlorites) and acids (eg. nitric acid).
However, it is hygroscopic and when exposed to moisture in air it decomposes.
Solid product is stable for long periods if kept dry and at ambient temperatures. Legal shelf-life of aluminim sulphate is 60 months.
Aluminim sulphateis stable in air, sunlight and to metals. [Osol, A. (ed.). Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. 16th ed. Easton, Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Co., 1980., p. 721]
Aluminium sulphate is stable on storage and does not react with its container under normal conditions of use and storage.
Therefore testing for Stability: thermal, sunlight, metals does not need to be performed.
Additional information
Stability: thermal, sunlight, metals
Aluminim sulphate belongs to the Following Reactive Group:Salts,Acidic Inorganic/Organic. There are 271 chemical datasheets assigned to this reactive group.
Reactive groups are categories of chemicals that typically react in similar ways because they are similar in their chemical structure. Each substance with a chemical datasheet has been assigned to one or more reactive groups, and CAMEO Chemicals uses the reactive group assignments to make its reactivity predictions.
Aluminim sulphate is from the group of Inorganic salt and do not contain an organic materials and the substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials, on the basis of the chemical structureor by heating to cause a fire or explosion.
Solid product is stable for long periods if kept dry and at ambient temperatures. Legal shelf-life of aluminim sulphate is 60 months.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the hazard assessment of aluminium sulphate in section 2.1 and 2.2 in IUCLID 5.4, available data for the substance and according to the criteria described in Directive 67/548/EEC and in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP Regulation):
Directive 67/548 |
Thermal stability R5 Heating may cause an explosion. R6 Explosive with or without contact with air.
|
CLP |
Self-reactive substances and mixures H240: Heating may cause an explosion. H241: Heating may cause a fire or explosion. H242: Heating may cause a fire. Self-react. Type A Self-react. Type B Self-react. Type C Self-react. Type D Self-react. Type E Self-react. Type F Self-react. Type G
|
It is concluded that none of the above phrase has not to be assigned to aluminium sulphate and does not meet the criteria to be classified for Stability: thermal, sunlight, metals
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).
