Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The majority of data on the physical and chemical properties of ammonium thiosulfate were taken from handbooks (including CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and the Merck Index).

Waivers are proposed for following endpoints: boiling point, vapour pressure, partition coefficient, surface tension, flash point, auto flammability, flammability, explosiveness, oxidising properties, stability in organic solvents, dissociation constant and viscosity as well as for pyrophoric properties and flammability in contact with water.
