Description of key information

The hydrolysis of HfCl4 has been studied in a test complying with OECD guidance and rate with reliability 1. The experiment showed that the reaction occurred immediately and the stabilization of the reaction is showed by the pH and also the chloride content,  which did not vary at all after the reaction. The instantaneous hydrolysis was seen by eye with a precipitate formation that could demonstrate the formation of HfO2, a very insoluble compound. The key value for assessment is then set to a minimum.
