Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The results of the sieving procedure are shown in the following table:

Measurement

Result

Mass of test item transferred to sieve

11.62 g

Mass of test item passed through sieve

0.45 g

Proportion of test item < 100 µm

3.87 %

The inhalable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles which can be inhaled by nose or mouth, the thoracic fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that passes the larynx and the respirable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that reaches the alveoli.           

Since less than 10% of the test item had a particle size of less than 100 µm the test item is deemed to be essentially non-inhalable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The proportion of test item having an inhalable particle size of less than 100 µm was determined to be 3.87 %. The test item has been considered to be essentially non-inhalable.
