Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Yttrium trichloride hexahydrate is a white to yellowish crystalline powder with pungent odour. This is confirmed in the safety data sheet from a manufacturer (TIAG, 2016) as well as in a study report on melting point in which the test item appearance upon receipt in the testing laboratory is reported (Demangel, 2017).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
