Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Study period:
12 September 2006 - 6 October 2006
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 110 (Particle Size Distribution / Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
sieving
Type of particle tested:
primary particle
Type of distribution:
other: gravimetric
Key result
Percentile:
D50
Mean:
> 100 µm
Remarks on result:
other: see remark
Remarks:
The mass of test material passing through a 100 μm sieve was measured (1.88%).
Conclusions:
By using the sieve method, the proportion of test material having an inhalable particle size less than 100 μm was found to be 1.88%. The results indicate that the test substance has a a particle size that is essentially non-inhalable.
