Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Particle size distribution was measured using a Delron Cascade impactor (MMAD = 0.76 µm). Approx. 84% of the particles had a diameter of 3 µm, approx. 98% 10 µm.

No animals died. Nasal discharge during exposure, crusty eyes, crusty nose and alopecia at 14 days post-exposure. No macroscopic organ lesions, but in one animal discoloration of the lung was observed.
