Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The SEM image showed that the dry Cerac-Pigment powder that was directly taken from the sample containment forms agglomerates up to a few 100 micrometers.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The SEM image showed that the dry Cerac-Pigment powder that was directly taken from the sample containment forms agglomerates up to a few 100 micrometers. The SEM examination suggests that the sample consists of primary particles in the nano-size region, down to -10nm. The primary particles formed agglomerates in the size region of approximately 5-40 micrometers .
