Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
By the principal sieving between 100 μm and 1 mm, the majority of the particles has got a size between 125 and 180 μm (48.6%).
The particle size distribution of the test item was found to range approximately 0.656 μm to 152.541 μm with the laser diffraction method. With this method, the mean diameter in volume was 36.628 μm. The mean diameter in surface was 18.486 μm.
The particle size D(0.1) was 10.858 μm. The particle size D(0.5) was 34.304 μm. The particle size D(0.9) was 71.764 μm.
Additional information
The determination of the particle size distribution of the test item was performed in two parts. First the determination was made by sieving according to Method 110 of OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals and GLP. Then the determination of the particle size between 2000 and 0.050 µm was made by laser diffraction according to CIPAC MT 187 method. No deviation from the guidelines was observed during the two part of the test.
A significant amount of test item has a particle size lower than 20 µm. Furthermore, the test item formed some agglomerates below 100 µm. So the laser diffraction method was chosen to determined the particle size distribution of the test item between 2000 µm to 0.050 µm.
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.
