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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 285-561-1 | CAS number: 85117-09-5 Mixtures of chemical substances produced by burning (below 1200°C) natural variants of limestone or chalk containing from 10 to 20%, or more, of clayey or siliceous materials which are predominantly SiO2, Al2O3 and iron oxide. Consist primarily of 2CaOsb.2, Ca(OH)2, CaO and 2CaOsb.2O3. 3CaO.2SiO2, 4CaOsb.2O3. Fe2O3, 2CaOsb.2O3sb.2, CaCO3 and SiO2 may also be included.
Hydrolysis
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- hydrolysis
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- other:
- Justification for type of information:
- The data requirements with regard to hydrolysis can be considered to be fulfilled. According to the guidance, this endpoint is specifically needed for organic substances and less relevant for inorganic substances. When mixing lime (chemical) hydraulic with water, a proportion (1010 mg calcium/L; see IUCLID section 4.8) dissolves and dissociates, forming calcium ions (Ca2+) and hydroxyl ions (OH-). The release of hydroxyl ions causes a net pH increase. The rest of the substance remains in suspension. It can be reasonably assumed that in the aquatic environment the substance will be completely dissociated into its ions as the water solubility is relatively high compared to the environmental background concentration of calcium (i.e. 0.2-600 mg/L; median 40.2 mg/L; according to FOREGS Geochemical Baseline Mapping Programme) and due to dilution effects. Furthermore, the OH- ions will react with HCO3- to form water and carbonate ions which react with Ca2+ to form calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate precipitates and deposits on the sediment. Calcium carbonate is a constituents of natural soils. As such, depending on the properties of the test medium, lime (chemical) hydraulic will be strongly neutralised in the initial period after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
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.
