Zirconium is an odourless metal, present in solid state at 20°C and 101.3 kPa under different forms: powder, shot, sponge.
Zirconium is a bluish-black amorphous powder or grayish-white lustrous metal (platelets or flakes) of hexagonal lattice below 865°C ( α form).
Physical and chemical properties of this substance are :
Particle size distribution for Zirconium powder: D50= 76.42 µm, D10= 32.64 µm, D90= 141.11 µm.
Flammability properties of zirconium highly depend on the form and particular size of the metal:
As stated in the harmonised Classification and Labelling (CLP 1272/2008, annex VI):
Zirconium powder is classified "pyr sol.1" and "water react 1"
Zirconium powder dry is classified "self heat 1"
A test conducted on Zirconium shot shows that it is highly flammable according to dir 67/548/EEC.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
