Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Zirconium dinitrate oxide is a white solid, under ambient conditions (Younis, 2015a, key study, Klimisch 1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid

Additional information

A GLP-compliant experimental study of reliability 1 according to Klimisch, dealing with relative density but reporting description of the registered substance, was selected as a key study (Younis, 2015a). The test item is described as a white solid.

Although the reference substance is a solid, the substance is also available and used as aqueous solution. Therefore, a supporting study was added (SDS MEL Chemicals, Klimisch 2) reporting on the appearance of a representative aqueous solution of the reference substance. The aqueous solution was yellow, and had a slight odour, at ambient temperature.
