Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Percentile:
D50

Size:
5 - 100 µm
Distribution:
93.99 %

The sample was first sieved by a 100 µm sieve:

- weighted sample: 0.77073 g

- weight fraction <100 µm: 0.00114 g

- mass fraction <100 µm: 0.15 %

The mass fraction <100 µm was 0.15 %, and was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The median aspect ratio was 1.44.

The median diameter of the particle size is given for the fraction <100 µm. The value 14.02 µm was calculated for sherical particles.

 Accounting based on the total sample weight 
 Particle Size Spherical Volume [%]
  <4 µm (respirable)  0.00
  4 - 10 µm (thoracic) 0.88
  10 - 100 µm (inhalable) 92.70
> 100 µm  6.42
 Median (diameter µm)

 14.02

   

Conclusions:
The MMAD (Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter < 100 μm) has a value of 14.02 μm as spherical particles. All particles with a mean diameter less than 100µm have a mass fraction of 0.15 %. 5.92 % of this mass fraction has a mean diameter less than 5 μm.
Executive summary:

According to OECD guideline 110, the particle size distribution of 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone was determined by scanning eletron microscopy method for the sieved fration and presented on the basis of calculated mass fractions referring to the total sample weight. All particles with a mean diameter less than 100 µm have a mass fraction of 0.15 %. 5.92 % of this mass fraction has a mean diameter less than 5 μm. The mass mediam diameter is 14.02 µm (spherical volume).

Description of key information

The MMAD (Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter < 100 μm) has a value of 14.02 μm as spherical particles. All particles with a mean diameter less than 100µm have a mass fraction of 0.15 %. 5.92 % of this mass fraction has a mean diameter less than 5 μm.

Considered to be of low dustiness for CSA
