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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
A theoretical assessment was performed on dilithium tetraborate and concluded that the substance contained no functional groups imparting explosive properties. As lithium metaborate contains the same functional groups as dilithium tetraborate and any variations due to the range of trigonal and tetrahedral species between the substances are not expected to lead to any changes in the explosive potential of these substances. It is beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Explosiveness:
- non explosive
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Examination of the structural formula for dilithium tetraborate indicated that there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties. As lithium metaborate contains the same functional groups as dilithium tetraborate it is expected to non-explosive too.
In addition, the substance is inorganic and the oxygen balance is therefore not applicable. Based on this combination of factors, it is beyond reasonable doubt that the material will not exhibit explosive properties. No classification is therefore required.
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.
