Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ISO 13320 (2009) and OECD Guideline 110 (1981)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
Laser scattering/diffraction
Remarks:
The test item is fed to the measuring cell by pressurized air (2.0 barg). The concentration in the air flow is adjusted by the opening of the cell (6 mm). The optical concentration in the measuring cell was adjusted to 3-4%.
Type of particle tested:
primary particle
Remarks:
A powder dispersing cell was used and a sieve which prevents that agglomerates are fed to the measuring cell.
Type of distribution:
mass based distribution

Remarks:
From the measured diffraction pattern the particle size distribution is calculated. From the cumulative distribution the characteristic values: D10: 10 Vol.-% of the particles have a smaller diameter D50: 50 Vol.-% of the particles have a smaller diameter (median diameter) D90: 90 Vol.-% of the particles have a smaller diameter are derived.
