Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING

pH = 6.95 (American process zinc oxide); 7.37 (French process)

Record Name: ZINC OXIDE

ZnO is pH neutral and does not contain any Hydrogen atom, dissociation constant is not relevant. Equilibrium of Zinc ion in water is illustrated by Pourbaix diagram on page 18 of the attached report (Outotec 2010 - 10043-ORC-T). No difference expected for the nano.

The surface treatment applied does not modify the properties of the substance.
This justification applies to both sets of nanos: the "Zinc oxide nano with and without hydrophilic surface treatment" set and the "Zinc oxide nano - hydrophobic surface treatment" set.

Description of key information

The dissociation constant relating to the acidity constant, pKa, as required by the IUCLID database and REACH Guidance document, is not relevant for the substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
