Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Olivine, cobalt silicate blue is moderately soluble in environmental media. Based on results of a standard transformation/dissolution test according to OECD Series No 29, the dissolution at a loading of 1 mg/L Olivine, cobalt silicate blue results at pH 6, the pH that maximises dissolution, in dissolved cobalt levels of 139 µg Co/L and 185 µg Co/L after 7 and 28 days, respectively. Thus, the rate and extent to which Olivine, cobalt silicate blue produces soluble (bio)available ionic and other cobalt-bearing species in environmental media is limited. Olivine, cobalt silicate blue contains also silicon, but silicon does not have an ecotoxic potential (see OECD SIDS Silicon dioxide, 2004), as also confirmed by the absence of respective ecotoxicity reference values in the Metals classification tool (MeClas) database (http://www.meclas.eu/ accessed on 18.04.2021).
Further, the limited solubility of Olivine, cobalt silicate blue is expected to determine its behaviour and fate in the environment, and subsequently its bioavailability and potential for bioaccumulation and ecotoxicity. A conservative read-across approach is applied based on all information available for different inorganic cobalt substances and the fate of the released cobalt ions can ultimately be expected to be similar to the common fate of cobalt ions in the environment. For further information on the applied read-across approach, please refer to the RAAF document “Read-across approach for environmental toxicity of the pigments “Reaction mass of cobalt olivine and crystalline silicon dioxide” & “Olivine, cobalt silicate blue" 2021 attached in IUCLID Section 13.
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.
