Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Technical Guidance Document EUR 20268 Determination of Particle Size Distribution
Version / remarks:
The method employed was based on a procedure designed to be compatible with that given in European Commission Technical Guidance Document EUR 20268 Determination of Particle Size Distribution, Fibre Length and Diameter Distribution of Chemical Substances (2002).
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The particle size distribution was evaluated based on internationally accepted guidelines. The inhalable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles which can be inhaled by nose or mouth, the thoracic fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that passes the larynx and the respirable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that reaches the alveoli.

GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
cascade impaction
Type of particle tested:
other: powder
Type of distribution:
mass based distribution

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The proportion of test item having an inhalable particle size of less than 100 μm was determined to be 12.3% by sieve analysis. Cascade impactor analysis identified negligible content (<1.0%) of the test item had a particle size <10 μm.
