Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
According to appendix R7-1 of ECHA Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment multiple techniques should be applied to investigate phys. chem. properties of particulates, although different measurement methods may not provide comparable results. Laser diffraction is the well experienced standard procedure for pigments to determine particle size distribution of the pigment as it is manufactured and delivered.

For further percentiles see attached report.

Given standard deviation is based on the general experience with the method and pigments. The estimated values are typical standard deviations for pigments:

D10: 4% of D10 (minimum value 0,05 µm)

D50: 13% of D50 (minimum value 0,1 µm)

D90: 29% of D90 - D50

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The mass median diameter is 2.8 µm.
Executive summary:
The mass median diameter using Malvern laser diffraction (volumetric distribution) was determined to be 2.8 µm.
