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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Water solubility
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- 1999
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: no guideline available (Handbook data)
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable
- Remarks:
- Reaction with water is vigorous, and with large amounts of peroxide it may be explosive.
- Details on results:
- Contact of the peroxide with combustibles and traces of water may cause ignition. Violent explosions on two occasions during attempted preparation of
oxygen were attributed to traces of sodium in the peroxide. The former would liberate hydrogen and ignite the detonable mixture. - Conclusions:
- Reaction with water is vigorous, and with large amounts of peroxide it may be explosive. The study must be waived.
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- 1996
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: no guideline available (Handbook data)
- Remarks on result:
- other: Freely soluble in water, forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, the latter quickly decomposes into oxygen and water.
- Conclusions:
- The substance is freely soluble in water, forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, the latter quickly decomposes into oxygen and water.
- Endpoint:
- water solubility
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- data from handbook or collection of data
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: no guideline available (Handbook data)
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable
- Remarks:
- Reacts with water.
- Conclusions:
- The water solubility is not determinable as the substance reacts with water.

Description of key information
Daily manipulation of the substance by the producer indicates the production of oxygen and sodium hydroxide. Testing is not required.
For the purpose of the risk assessment, the NaOH solubility is referenced as key value and the REACH dossier value is used (100g/100g H2O at 25°C).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 1 000 g/L
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
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.
