Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 percentage of particles < 2 µm is < 2.2 % and >=200 µm is < 0.1 %.

The substance consists of rod-shaped crystals.

Conclusions:
The median particle sizes of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions (volumetric) were: L50 = 27.5 μm, L10 = 9.4 μm and L90 = 67.8 μm (ISO 13320, Laser diffraction method)

Description of key information
