Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) can be calculated as:

 

MMAD = D50 * sqrt(relative density)

 

The relative density of the test item, technical purity is

 

D420= 1.47

 

Therefore the MMAD can be calculated as

 

MMAD = 10.6 µm * sqrt(1.47) = 12.85 µm

Description of key information

median particle size L50 = 10.6 µm

particle size L10 = 0.9 µm

particle size L90 = 228.1 µm

(CIPAC MT 187, laser diffraction)

Additional information

The mass median aerodynamic diameter was calculared to be: MMAD = 12.85 µm
