Titanium Dioxide Industry REACH consortium
The manufacturers of Titanium Dioxide have joined efforts for their REACH compliance activities and have launched the TDIC REACH consortium.
Consortium description
The Titanium Dioxide Industry Consortium (TDIC) will manage the REACH registration of titanium dioxide and related manufacturing process intermediates and will liaise with registrants of key raw materials in other consortia and SIEFs.
Substances
The substances covered by the TDIC consortium are :
| Substance |
CAS number |
EC number |
Molecular Formula |
Scope* |
| Titanium dioxide |
13463-67-7 |
236-675-5 |
TiO2 |
Substance |
| Titanium tetrachloride |
7550-45-0 |
231-441-9 |
TiCl4 |
Substance |
| Titanium oxide sulphate |
13825-74-6 |
237-523-0 |
TiOSO4 |
Substance |
| Dichloride titanium oxide |
13780-39-7 |
237-430-5 |
TiOCl2 |
Substance |
| Disodium titanate |
12034-34-3 |
234-802-9 |
Na2TiO3 |
Intermediate >1000t/a
and substance 1-10t/a |
* The consortium will prepare registration dossiers for the substances indicated as a Substance or Intermediate under the definition of Article 3 EC Regulation 1907/2006. The registration dossier for the intermediates will be in accordance with Article 18 of the previously mentioned Regulation. As a consequence all uses of the intermediate must be complying with Paragraph 4 of Article 18.
Membership
The TDIC REACH consortium, which is managed by ReachCentrum, has been initially formed by members of the Titanium Dioxide Manufacturers Association (TDMA) which is a Sector Group of Cefic.
The TDIC consortium is open to any European and non-European companies manufacturing or importing substances indicated above. The consortium works on registration dossiers for all substances indicated. Operational costs are shared equally among the members. For an appropriate fee the consortium will offer a Letter of Access to the registration dossiers being developed.
Letter of Access
The LoA is now available. Please use this link to access the LoA e-shop : http://loashop.reachcentrum.eu
Classification and labeling
The Joint Submission REACH dossier, submitted by Huntsman as Lead Registrant on behalf of the TDIC consortium, has classified TiO2 as non-hazardous for all end-points and so all Uses are acceptable.
