Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Laboratory-SOP A-AF010
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: The method is a based on the sieving of the powder using a set of sieves of different mesh
- Apparatus: Set of 3 sieves with a diameter of 200 mm. The mesh size is 450, 150 and 75 μm. Vibrator sieves device. Analytical balance with 0.01 g of precision
- Short description of test conditions: Weigh 20 ± 0.02 grams of sample. Mount sieve set from high (upper) to low mesh size on the vibrator device.
Switch on the vibrator device for 10 minutes.
- Parameters analysed / observed: Weigh the amount of powder retained in each sieve.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
sieving
Type of particle tested:
agglomerate
Type of distribution:
mass based distribution

The percent mass below 75 micrometer is 6.2%

Conclusions:
The mass median diameter of the particles is 450 μm

Description of key information

The particles size determination is a based on the sieving of the powder using a set of sieves of different mesh.

The mass median diameter of the particles determined by sieving is 450 μm: the powder is considered to be of medium volatility.
