Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In a bio-elution test it was shown that only 17.45 µg/L zirconium was released after 72 hours in artificial perspiration fluid (see IUCLID section 7.1.1). Moreover, the test substance was highly insoluble (below detection limit) in a T/D test conducted in accordance with OECD 29 (see IUCLID section 4.8). Thus, the bioavailability of zirconium, as the toxicological relevant part of the target substance, after administration to the skin, can be expected to be very low. No information was found in the public domain, which would indicate any skin sensitising properties of zirconium. Based on the results and in line with the 3R principles, the study is scientifically unjustified.
