Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
June 2010
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The study has been conducted according to CIPAC Method 187 Guideline however the test item is soluble in water therefore a modification of the conditions of the analysis (acidification of the medium to reduce the the solubility of the sample in the dispersing media) was required. The study is considered reliable with some restrictions due to the fact that only one measeure has been performed in dilute hydrochloric acid (pH = 2.0).
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: CIPAC Method 187, Particle size analysis by laser diffration
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
Laser scattering/diffraction
Type of distribution:
counted distribution
Percentile:
D50
Mean:
39.6 µm
Remarks on result:

Average of three determinations. Standard deviation is of the three determinations.

The third measure has been performed in dilute hydrochloric acid (pH = 2.0).

As there is no significant difference between the determinations in pure water and dilute acid, all three have been considered for the final mean value.

Conclusions:
The third measure has been performed in dilute hydrochloric acid (pH = 2.0). The acid condition reduces the solubility of the item in the dispersing media and the third measure results therefore adequate.
As there is no significant difference between the determinations in pure water and dilute acid, all three have been considered for the final mean value.
The results are therefore considered to be adequate for the purposes of risk assessment.

Description of key information

D50 = 39.6 µm, CIPAC Method 187, laser diffraction, Das, 2010

Additional information

The study has been conducted according to CIPAC Method 187 Guideline.

The acidified solution reduced the solubility of the item in the dispersing media. As there was no significant difference between the determinations in pure water and dilute acid, all three have been considered for the final mean value. The results are considered to be reliable with restrictions but adequate for the purposes of risk assessment.
