Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
A 3-h EC50 value of >67 mg/L is observed in activated sludge based on respiration inhibition, which corresponds to a 3-h EC50 value of >36 mg/L based on fluoride. The 3-h EC50 value of >36 mg fluoride/L is used in the assessment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 36 mg/L
Additional information
No toxicity test with microorganisms is available for potassium tetrafluoroaluminate. The results from the structural analogue multiconstituent aluminium potassium fluoride are used instead (for details see Reporting Format as attached to the respective IUCLID entry and CSR Appendix B.3). One GLP-compliant OECD 209 guideline study is available for the toxicity to microorganisms. The 3-h EC50 is >75 mg/L in activated sludge (Solvay Pharmaceuticals, 2010c). As the contents of fluoride, expressed as a percentage of the molar weight in both substances are comparable, namely 53.5% for potassium tetrafluoroaluminate and ca. 51% for multiconstituent aluminium potassium fluoride, as a result no safety factor is applied. Instead, the effect concentrations will be corrected for molecular weight. The corrected effect concentration for potassium tetrafluoroaluminate is >67 mg/L, which corresponds to an effect concentration of >36 mg fluoride/L.
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.
