Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.

Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.

Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.

Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.

Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.

Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.

Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.

Additional information:
Fumed Alumina (FA) is produced by the thermal (pyrogenic alumina) process. In the initial particle formation step, primary particles with dimensions below 100 nm are formed by growth of FA monomers. Within a short time (milliseconds), these primary particles covalently bond to form indivisible units, called aggregates, which have no physical boundaries among the primary particles. These aggregates have external dimensions that are distributional in nature with some fraction below 100 nm. Once aggregates are formed, the primary particles have lost their identity - they are not discrete and do not have defined physical boundaries among each other. The aggregates combine to form agglomerates by attraction forces (van der Waals and H-bridges). The agglomerates are in the micron size range.

Our current understanding of how to interpret the word “particle” under EU REACH nanomaterial definition is that “constituent” particles are the primary particles forming the aggregate [“aggregate” means a particle comprising of strongly bound or fused particles]. The particle size to be reported in the nanoform characterizer section of the IUCLID dossier is therefore the “theoretical” primary particle size although the “particle” considered relevant for assessing the safety of the substance is the smallest indivisible unit, i.e. the aggregate.
