Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 registered substance is not placed on the market as a discrete substance powder, but as a component in a mixture. Downstream users will not be exposed to the pure substance. For this reason it was decided that granulometry studies should focus on the product as placed on the market rather than individual reference substance powders.

The D10 particle size for the marketed product was determined to be 56.6 µm, D50 was 97.3 µm and D90 was 159.3 µm.
Executive summary:

Johnson Matthey (2017) is not GLP compliant but followed a standard test method and guideline (ISO 13320 laser diffraction) and is considered reliable with restrictions (Klimisch 2).
