Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 particle size was analysed over the range 0.02 μm to 2000 μm. The results of the formal analysis are presented in Table 9:1.

Conclusions:
Volume weighted Mean is 26.130 um. The Median is 12.524 um.
Executive summary:

Particle size analysis was performed using a Mastersizer 2000 instrument. Volume weighted Mean is 26.130 um. The Median is 12.524 um. 80% of the particles were greater than 5 um and less than 58 um.

Description of key information

 Volume weighted Mean is 26.130 um. The Median is 12.524 um.

Additional information
