Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information:
The particle forming mechanism for each manufacturing process starts with the formation of liquid nuclei that grow to constituent particles that coagulate to aggregates and solidify. Constituent particles are therefore spherical in nature while aggregates (and agglomerates) show a high fractal structure.

> 50 - <= 100 %
