Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

A number of physical and chemical endpoint studies have been waived due to the inorganic nature of the substance e.g. partition coefficient. Of the experimentally derived endpoints, all studies were conducted using the registered substance with the exception of the explosivity supporting study which was conducted on the similar substance silicone dioxide with the results being read across to the registered substance to support the waiving argument. Read-across between silicone dioxide and the registered substance is considered appropriate based on the similar structure of the two substances.
