Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test conditions

Details on test conditions:
Soil characteristics (e.g. pH, % organic matter):
The artificial soil was prepared with the following
composition (percentage distribution on dry weight basis):

- Sphagnum peat: 10 %

(air dried and finely ground, pH 2 - 4)

- Kaolinite clay: 20 %

(content of Kaolinite (AI2 Si2 O2 (OH)4) = 56 %)

- Industrial quartz sand (Sort: F 36): 70 %

(Particle size: 0.20 mm - 0.05 mm = 68.2 %)

- Calcium carbonate (CaCOs): about 0.4 %

(for the adjustment to pH 6.0 ± 0.5)


The artificial soil was prepared by mixing the dry
components intensely in a cement mixer. Then, the soil was
wetted with deionized water to reach a water content of
between 40 % and 60 % of the maximum water holding capacity
(WHCmax).
