Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Particle size data acquired for the test item is shown in the following table:
Percentage of test item with an inhalable particle size <100 μm (Sieve méthod) = 59.8%
Percentage of test item with a thoracic particle size <10.0 μm (Cascade Impactor) ≤1.99%
Percentage of test item with a respirable particle size <5.5 μm (Cascade Impactor) <0.1%

The inhalable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles which can be inhaled by nose or mouth, the thoracic fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that passes the larynx and the respirable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that reaches the alveoli.
Executive summary:

Sampling for the cascade impactor determinations was performed by rolling the test item container for approximately 10 minutes then sampled from the top, middle and bottom.

Too few particles were of a size less than 10.0 μm to allow accurate assessment of the mass median aerodynamic diameter.
