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.

Description of key information

The determination of the particle size distribution of FAT 41024/B was based on the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 110, "Particle Size Distribution/Fibre Length and Diameter", adopted May 12,1981.

Additional information

The test article was judged visually to be a black fine-grained powder. FAT 41024/B was found to consist of greenish rod-shaped particles with a plane surface in the preliminary test using a microscope.

The results obtained in the first and second experiment showed no relevant difference. Therefore the study is considered to be valid and no further sieving tests had to be performed.

In conclusion, it could be stated that about <2.3 wt% of the particles in FAT 41024/B showed a particle size lower than 10 microm.. About 50 wt% of FAT 41024/B were determined by sieve analysis to be smaller than about 26 microm. (median mass diameter).
