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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
At room temperature, the substance is a liquid. The solubility of the metal sulphates is moderate to high, in the UVCB these salts are totally dissolved at RT.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
At room temperature, the substance is a liquid.
The UVCB contains mainly sulphuric acid ( typical across industry ca 20 to 30% w/w) and water, and small amounts of metal sulphates and/or arsenates . A detailed chemical analysis (ICP +iodometry) was performed on a representative sample (see IUCLID 4.23).
Sulphuric acid is known to be totally miscible to water. The solubility of the metal sulphates is moderate to high, in the UVCB these salts are totally dissolved at RT. As an example, indicative solubility of CuSO4 is provided as 266g/l (see Voluntary Risk assessment of Copper and compounds). Metal sulphates with lower solubility in water may precipitate during transportation/storage of the UVCB (eg PbSO4)
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.
