Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:

The particle size distribution (volume distribution) of methacrylamide was measured by laser diffraction with dry dispersing.
The dustiness of the substance is low.
However, as a significant proportion of particles (> 1 %) have a diameter below 50 µm, inhalation is considered as a relevant exposure pathway.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution (volume distribution) of methacrylamide was measured by laser diffraction with dry dispersing.

The average of three measurements is: d90: 1644 µm; d50: 967 µm; d10: 348 µm;

A proportion of 1.15 % has a diameter of 47.94 µm (d1.15: 47.94 µm).

The dustiness of the substance is low.

However, as a significant proportion of particles (> 1 %) have a diameter below 50 µm, inhalation is considered as a relevant exposure pathway (cf ECHA Guidance R.14, page 110).
