Data platform availability banner - registered substances factsheets

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Registration/ Notification status for the use:
use registered according to REACH Article 17/18
Contributing activity / technique for the environment
Name of activity / technique:
HF vapors are splashed with water in a multipurpose column. Two stages are involved. The HF vapor emission measurement is installed at the column outlet.
Environmental release category (ERC):
ERC1: Manufacture of the substance
Contributing activity / technique for workers
Name of activity / technique:
PROC 1: The production process does not change. H2SiF6 is always formed from the polishing process of the glass with hydrofluoric acid. All processes are continuously monitored. Penetration from the column is based on analyzes. The closed system does not allow for the contamination of other technological units or leakage into the environment. From the reaction column, the resulting H2SiF6 is pumped to the storage tanks, where it is stored until the customer's take-off. Each flow is controlled by a flowmeter and a chemical analysis of the H2SiF6 concentration is performed.
Process category (PROC):
PROC 1: Chemical production or refinery in closed process without likelihood of exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions
Related assessment:
use assessed in a joint CSR
Pattern of exposure:
accidental / infrequent
