- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: Batch No. 648300
- Purity: 99.9%
- Appearance: white to pale yellow crystals
- Relative density: 1.09 - Mass median aerodynamic diameter:
- 184.897 µm
- Geometric standard deviation:
- >= 2.289 - <= 2.328
- Percentile:
- D10
- Mean:
- 55.804 µm
- St. dev.:
- 0.6
- Key result
- Percentile:
- D50
- Mean:
- 177.099 µm
- St. dev.:
- 1.212
- Percentile:
- D90
- Mean:
- 376.276 µm
- St. dev.:
- 3.48
- Conclusions:
- The particle size of the test item was determined using the laser diffraction test. The analysis was conducted using the small volume (wet) module (SVM) with silicone oil as the dispersant. The average MMAD of the test item was reported to be 184.897 µm.
Reference
Coefficient of variation for d50 is less than 3%; d10 and d90 are less than 5%. Thus repeatability of the characteristic particles in the size distribution are within the acceptable limits as per the ISO 13320-1 test standard.
Standard visual observation: Sample observed to be non-dusting, medium to fine, white to yellow crystals with clusters.
Observation using 3.2 objective lens: The particles appeared to be irregular shaped transparent crystals. the smallest individual particle size was approximately 13 µm and the largest individual size was approximately 512 µm.
Observation using 40 objective lens: The sample was observed to be made up of agglomerated crystalline particles.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
