Description of key information
Calcium/Magnesium silicates are ubiquitous in rocks, soils and sediments, they are stable over geological time and the fibres we discuss here are chemically identical, albeit of different morphology. The material is inorganic, inert and stable; it is recycled back into the manufacturing process where possible or disposed to landfill. Measures are in place to prevent accidental release to the environment.
The substance is a dense material which settles rapidly from both air and liquids, distribution is only local within manufacturing and use facilities.
As the substance discussed is composed of dense inorganic particles which are highly insoluble, standard environmental fate testing is not justified and/or not technically possible.
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.
