Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

other: DIN 55992-1:2006 ("Determination of a parameter for the dust formation of pigments and extenders - Part 1: Rotation method").
GLP compliance:
no
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Type of method:
rotating cylinder
Details on methods and data evaluation:
Dustiness values for the respirable, thoracic and inhalable fractions were calculated from the particle size distribution in accordance with DIN EN 481. The released fine dust is deposited on the different impactor stages. The dust masses deposited on the 7 individual stages (linked to the aerodynamic diameter) of the cascade impactor were weighed and the total dustiness derived by adding the deposited masses of all impactor stages, including impactor correction factors.

Data gathering

Instruments:
A Heubach dust meter was modified in a way that a 7-stage cascade impactor was inserted instead of the filter. Flow rates were adapted.
