Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The d10, d50 and d90 of a representative sample of ytterbium(III) oxide were determined to be 0.974 μm, 5.17 µm, and 11.89 µm respectively.

Description of key information

Based on data obtained from a manufacturer (TIAG, 2017), the d10, d50 and d90 of a representative sample of ytterbium(III) oxide were determined to be 0.974 μm, 5.17 µm, and 11.89 µm, respectively. This study is considered as the key study for endpoint coverage.
