Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information:
According to the TEM image and histogram, ND type Quartzene material’s particle dize varies between 1 to 20 nm where as the majority of the particles are below 10 nm in size.
As it can be seen from the TEM analysis, Z1 type Quartzene material’s particle size varies between 5 to 20 nm in the image and it should be mentioned that the analytical sample is an example of the Z1 particles on the TEM grid, different parts of the same gird may have different particles and the particle size can vary between 10 to 30 nm in size.

External layer:
hydrophilic
Description:
The silica nanoparticles are silane derivatized by covalent bonding (a condensation reaction) of the hydrolysed organosilanes to the silanols on the surface of the particles. This is done at high temperature (50-90C) and at high pH (9-11), making all the glycidoxypropyl silanes open up to diols (the functionality introduced on the surface of the Levasil CC products). For the Levasil CC 141, CC301 and CC401 products, the glycidoxypropyl silane is the only silane. For the Levasil CC503, a 50/50 molar ratio of glycidoxypropyl and propyl silane is used. No purification of the products is made.

Additional information:
The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.

As shape is spheroidal, Typical lateral dimension 1, Typical lateral dimension 2 are equal to Typical Length . Typical Length is d50 value.
As shape is spheroidal, Typical aspect ration is 1 (the substance is not in fiber form).
