Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Summary of degradation
Ammonium zirconium carbonate (AZC)is inorganic and hence the ready biodegradation and hydrolysis tests are not relevant. This is because there is no carbon to be evolved and no chemical bonds to be broken, respectively. It is also not technically feasible to conduct a hydrolysis study AZC only ever exists as a solution in water across a narrow pH range. If removed from this range then AZC does not exist in the form to be registered.
In environmentally-relevant conditions there is expected to be decomposition of the substance to form zirconium hydroxide, together with accompanying release of carbonate and ammonium ions.
Volatilisation
Data on volatilisation are not available for the substance. It is not feasible to calculate the vapour pressure of the substance.
Distribution modelling
No distribution modelling data exist. Modelling is not relevant to this inorganic substance.
Summary of environmental distribution
No data on adsorption/desorption is available for the substance in the absence of test or (Q)SAR methodology appropriate to the substance.
Summary and discussion of bioaccumulation
No experimental data on bioaccumulation exist. The data are not required as the hazard and risk assessment performed during the chemical safety assessment concludes that the substance is not classified and is of no immediate concern to the environment.The available data are adequate for classification and labelling purposes. Since AZC is an inorganic substance a PBT assessment is not required.
Secondary poisoning
Bioaccumulation of AZC is not expected to occur. Hence no secondary poisoning risk exists.
Assessment of PBT/vPvB Properties - Comparison with the Criteria of Annex XIII
According to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT assessment, “the PBT and vPVB criteria of Annex XIII to the regulation do not apply to inorganic substances”. Therefore the substance AZC is not considered to require any further assessment of PBT properties.
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.
