Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Particle size distribution data indicates that SFL is potentially inhalable however testing to determine the dust generation potential of SFL as manufactured and supplied indicates that the inhalable fraction is <0.5 %w/w and hence inhalation of the substance as manufactured and supplied for use is unlikely.
Additional information
The particle size distribution data indicates that 95% of the sample of SFL tested had a particle size of < 29.42 µm and 5% had a particle size <1.4 µm. These data indicate that SFL is potentially inhalable, but that it is not a nanomaterial. Testing to determine the dust generation tendency ('dustiness') of SFL as manufactured and supplied (containing 27.75 %w/w water) has been performed according to DIN 55992 -1:2006 (Selck & Parr, 2010). The results of the study were as follows: total dustiness = 7.85 mg/g (0.785 %w/w); inhalable fraction 4.45 mg/g (0.445 %w/w); thoracic fraction 0.20mg/g (0.02 % w/w); and respirable fraction 0.01 mg/g (0.001 %w/w). Based on this study it is concluded that although the particle size distribution data indicates that SFL is potentially inhalable, exposure via this route during use of the substance in the form it is manufactured and supplied is unlikely as the inhalable fraction is expected to be < 0.5 %w/w.
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.
