Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The magnesium phosphite is poured on the top of a tower of stacked sieves (the smallest at the bottom). When the vibrations begin, the particles go down through the sieves until reaching a mesh smaller than their size.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
sieving
Type of particle tested:
primary particle
Type of distribution:
