Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

In the non-GLP Klimisch 1 study from Bütfering (2012) the particle size distribution of Aspartic acid, N-(3-carboxy-1-oxo-sulfopropyl)-N-(C16-18 (even numbered), C18 unsaturated alkyl) tetrasodium salts was determined using sieving method with mesh sizes ranging from 125 to 5000 µm. In total 135.18 g of the test item was sieved through meshes. The mass median diameter (MMD) of the test item is calculated as > 5000 µm.

This study is considered relevant for the risk assessment.
