Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Ecotoxicological studies are conducted at relatively low concentrations (e.g. 100 mg/l).
Corresponding hydrolysis tests with 100 mg P2O5 in 1000 ml of water result in slightly
acidic solutions (pH 3.6). No significant difference in composition could be found after
residence times of 1 h, 4 h and 24 h, which indicates that hydrolysis subsequent to the
primary reaction is extremely slow. The main component is tetraphosphoric acid
(approx. 65%) in combination with minor mono-, di-, and triphosphoric acid.
