Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

D10=24.4 um, D50= 54.15 um and D90= 101.80 um.

Additional information

Acid Black 234 particle size distribution was measured by light scattering and the results are D10=24.4 um, D50= 54.15 um and D90= 101.80 um.

The value is considered within the inhalable fraction, but not in the thoracic or respirable fraction. Since the usual form present on the market is liquid and the solid form is always treated with antidusting materials, this value is too much conservative in respect to the real form present in the market, therefore it is not indicative of the need to test the respiratory toxicity as preferred exposure route
