Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Particle Size Distribution:
10% < 2.12 µm
25% < 4.545 µm
50% < 12.99 µm
75% < 41.0 µm
90% < 66.10 µm

Conclusions:
The particle size distribution of BMH was determined using laser diffraction analysis. The median D50 was 12.99 µm. 25% of all particles were < 4.545 µm, 90% of all particles were < 66.10 µm.

Description of key information

95% conf. limits: 0.919-166 µm; Mean: 12.35 µm; Median: 12.99 µm; Mode: 67.18 µm (OECD 110:laser diffraction analysis-dry powder module)
