Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The particle size distribution of a sample of purified isophthalic acid typical of the Lead Registrant's commercial production was characterised by laser granulometry (dry measurement) as follows: D10, D50 and D90 = 13.60, 65.38 and 153.22 microns, respectively, on a percentage of volume basis. The volume mean diameter was 75.74 microns and the surface area (Sauter) mean diameter was 20.61 microns.
Additional information
The data provided by the Lead Registrant are compatible with other, independently collated data contributed by members of the Isophthalic Acid Sub-Group of the Polyester Monomers Consortium (contributors anonymised, number of sources not known), whose collective particle size distribution data are described by the following envelope: 70% in the range 26 to 342 microns and 20% to 30% smaller than 50 microns.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
