Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Total dustiness: 2.81 mg/g

Dustiness is the proportion of dust arising from solid substances under processing, handling and transportation conditions, particularly the proportion of dus from powdered or granulated pigments and fillers.

Conclusions:
The average dustiness of the sample was 2.81 mg/g i.e. 2.81 mg dust is generated per 1 g substance.

Description of key information

Based on the total particle size testing and the dustiness testing, it can be confirmed that the substance has a low dustiness emission potential.
