Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The particle size distribution is analysed by laser scattering analysis. Laser light interacts with the particles causing diffraction, refraction and absorption, thus producing a characteristic pattern of scattered light. If the particle size is significantly higher than the wavelength of the laser light predominantly diffraction patterns are produced. The information about the particle size is calculated from diffraction angles using the Fraunhofer theory. Using a red Laser Diode and a blue LED light source, the LA-950V2 is able to analyze particles in the range between 0.01 µm and 3,000 µm in diameter.
