- other: An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents.
- Qualifier:
- no guideline required
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Sample tested:
- other: not applicable
- Parameter:
- other: An assessment was carried out based on an examination of the functionality within the substance, to identify the presence of elements commonly associated with oxidising behaviour.
- Remarks on result:
- other: see 'other information on results'
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- It is concluded that the substance does not have any oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
- Executive summary:
An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. It is concluded that the substance does not have any oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Reference
The substance does not contain chlorine or fluorine but does contain oxygen bound to silicon, magnesium and aluminium. The oxygen bound to the latter three elements forms part of a strong crystal lattice (lattice potential energy = 94, 733 kJ/mol). The oxygen is not available without breaking the lattice apart which would require extreme conditions. That the substance will not act as an oxidising agent is supported by the fact that it is used extensively as a refractory material due to its inherent lack of reactivity and very high thermal stability.
Description of key information
It is concluded that the substance does not have any oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Oxidising properties:
- no
Additional information
An assessment of the substance was carried out based on an examination of the composition of the substance and the molecular structure of its known constituents. It is concluded that the substance does not have any oxidising potential and does not require classification as an oxidising agent.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance does not contain fluorine or chlorine. The oxygen in the substance is bound to silicon and extreme conditions would be required to release the oxygen.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
