Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

26% of the particles are <1 µm in size

3% of the particles are >5 µm in size

Conclusions:
The D50 of the substance was determined with laser diffraction analysis to be 1.61 µm.
3% of the substance has a particle size of >5 µm, and 26% has a particles size <1 µm.

Description of key information

The particle size distribution of a sample of the substance was determined using laser diffraction analysis (volumetric distribution): 10% < 0.601 µm; 50% < 1.57 µm; 90% < 3.54 µm; 26% < 1 µm. 3% > 5 µm.

D50corr = 1.61 µm.

The MMAD could not be calculated.
