Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The decomposition of the substance under heating (to zirconium dioxide) makes the substance not liable to burning. Furthermore, zirconium is in its highest possible oxidation state and thus incapable of further reaction with oxygen. Day-to-day handling of the substance shows that the substance is not flammable in contact with water or with air.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Pyrophoricity.
In the daily use and handling of zirconium acetate during which continuous exposure to air can occur, no spontaneous ignition is observed. The absence of structural alerts furthermore confirms that it is highly unlikely that zirconium acetate has pyrophoric properties.
Flammability in contact with water.
Under conditions where zirconium acetate is in contact with water no ignition and/or liberation of flammable gases is observed. The absence of structural alerts furthermore confirms that it is highly unlikely that zirconium acetate is flammable in contact with water.
Flammability.
The decomposition of the substance under heating (to zirconium dioxide) makes the substance not liable to burning. Furthermore, zirconium is in its highest possible oxidation state and thus incapable of further reaction with oxygen. Zirconium acetate is concluded to be a non-flammable substance. This results in an absence of classification both under DSD and CLP systems.
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.
