Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Specific details on test material used for the study:
At the request of the sponsor the test item was dried prior to testing. This was performed
by initially vacuum drying by means of a rotary evaporator until the sample had become a
paste. The sample was then placed on trays and allowed to stand under ambient
conditions for 4 days to remove solvent/ moisture. The trays were then placed in drying
ovens at 50°C for 16 hours until constant weight had been achieved.

Conclusions:
The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of the substance is 9.096 µm, the particle size distribution ranges from 0.01 to 3500 µm. 75.14 % by volume of sample was seen to be < 10.00 μm.
Coefficient of variation for d50 is less than 3%; d10 and d90 are less than 5%.
