Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
17 Aug 2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
According to appendix R7-1 of ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment multiple techniques should be applied to investigate phys. chem. properties of particulates, although different measurement methods may not provide comparable results. Laser diffraction is the well experienced standard procedure for pigments to determine particle size distribution of the pigment as it is manufactured and delivered.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Particle size determination by laser diffraction
Type of method:
Laser scattering/diffraction
Type of distribution:
volumetric distribution
Percentile:
D50
Mean:
3.5 µm
Remarks on result:
other: Migrated from fields under 'Mass median diameter' as D50 percentile. No source field for Standard deviation.
Percentile:
D10
Mean:
0.56 µm
St. dev.:
0.05
Percentile:
D50
Mean:
3.5 µm
St. dev.:
0.5
Percentile:
D90
Mean:
11.9 µm
St. dev.:
2.4

A few particle clusters (>2 mm) were found in the inlet sieve of the measuring system.

For further percentiles see attached report.

Given standard deviation is based on the general experience with the method and pigments. The estimated values are typical standard deviations for pigments:

D10: 4% of D10 (minimum value 0,05 µm)

D50: 13% of D50 (minimum value 0,1 µm)

D90: 29% of D90 - D50

.
Conclusions:
The test substance has a median particle size of 3.5 micrometer.
Executive summary:

The particle size of the test substance was determined by Malvern laser diffraction. The test substance has a median particle size of 3.5 micrometer.

Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Justification for type of information:
See Rationale and Justification for the Analogue Read-Across Approach for the registration of the Nanoform of Pigment Red 188 using Pigment Red 22, Pigment Red 112 and Pigment Orange 38 as Source Substances (Chapter 13)
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
