Aluminium sulphate

Oxidising properties

Description of key information

This product  no has oxidizing properties. 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 structure.
Aluminim sulphate is an inorganic substance with a relatively large number of oxygen atoms per molecule but no hydrogen or carbon atoms. There are no structural alerts with regard to oxidising potential of the substance.
The  substance does not contain groups that act as an oxidizing agent. The oxygen atoms that are present in the molecular structure of the test substance are chemically bonded to sulfur or hydrogen.
EU Test method A17 for determination of oxidising properties states that the test need not be performed when examination of the structural formula established beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is in capable of reacting exothermically with a combustible material.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Oxidising properties

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.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the hazard assessmentof aluminium sulphate in section 2.1 and 2.2in IUCLID 5.4, availabledata 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):
