Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The median particle size L50 (D (v, 0.5): 50 % of particle volume with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:

1st test series: L50 = 159.6 µm

2nd test series: L50 = 158.1 µm

The average of the median particle size L50 was:

L50 = 158.9 µm

The particle size L10 (D (v, 0.1): 10 % of particle volume with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:

1st test series: L10 = 32.1 µm

2nd test series: L10 = 31.0 µm

The average of the particle size L10 was:

L10 = 31.5 µm

The particle size L90 (D (v, 0.9): 90 % of particle volume with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:

1st test series: L90 = 295.9 µm

2nd test series: L90 = 294.6 µm

The average of the particle size L90 was:

L90 = 295.2 µm

The maximum was observed at ca. 200 µm. Additionally, two shoulders were observed at ca. 5 µm and ca. 40 µm.

Conclusions:
The average of the median particle size L50 was:
L50 = 158.9 µm
The average of the particle size L10 was:
L10 = 31.5 µm
The average of the particle size L90 was:
L90 = 295.2 µm
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item was determined by laser diffraction (light scattering). The test item consisted of transparent particles of irregular shape.

The average of the median particle size L50 was:

L50 = 158.9 µm

The average of the particle size L10 was:

L10 = 31.5 µm

The average of the particle size L90 was:

L90 = 295.2 µm
