- Executive summary:
Due to the powder being agglomerated the analysis was carried out using the ‘wet’, small volume dispersion system. Several solvents were tried, in order to determine a suitable medium that provided maximum dispersibility, but with minimum solubility. Acetone was finally selected as the most suitable dispersant. The laser diffraction test conducted to determine the particle size analysis produced the following results:

Coefficient of variation for d50 is less than 3%; d10 and d90 are less than 5%. Thus, repeatability of the characteristic particles in the size distribution are within the acceptable limits as per the ISO 13320-1 test standard.
