Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

  Accounting based on the total sample weight
  Particle size (µm)   Spherical volume (%)
 Mass fraction  >100 92.51 
Sieve fraction   >100 0.00 
 Total (>100 µm)   92.51 
 Sieve fraction 10 -100 (inhalable)  3.18 
 Sieve fraction 4 -10 (thoracic)  3.80 
 Sieve fraction <4 (respirable)  0.51 
Conclusions:
The MMAD (Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter < 100μm) has a value of 3.20 μm as spherical particles.
Executive summary:

The MMAD (Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter < 100μm) has a value of 3.20 μm as spherical particles.
