Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material form:
solid

Results and discussion

Mass median aerodynamic diameter:
32.9 µm
Particle size
Percentile:
D50
Mean:
< 32.9 µm
St. dev.:
0.926
Remarks on result:
other: The mass median diameter of the test item indicates that 50 % of the particles are smaller than 32.9 μm

Any other information on results incl. tables

The standard deviation is smaller than 5 %, therefore the study is considered to be valid and no further testing is necessary. The particle size distribution was found to be in the range from approximately 0.3 μm to 150 μm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The mass median diameter (MMD) was determined to be 32.9 μm.
