Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The MMAD of the substance was measured as 89.65 µm
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the substance has been measured by initially using a visual microscope and then undertaken more formally using a Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyser taking into account the requirements of OECD 110 and in compliance with GLP. The MMAD of the substance was measured as 89.65 µm.

Description of key information

The particle size distribution of the substance has been measured by initially using a visual microscope and then undertaken more formally using a Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyser taking into account the requirements of OECD 110 and in compliance with GLP. The MMAD of the substance was measured as 89.65 µm.

Additional information

Based on the measurement undertaken, around 80% of the substance had a particle size above 10 µm with the MMAD of the substance was measured as 89.65 µm
