Conclusions:
The average particle size results for the test item are: D10 = 2.22 µm, D50 = 11.96 µm, D90 = 48.08 µm, D4,3 = 19.92 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution for the test substance was determined according to OECD 110 / CIPAC MT 187 - Particle size analysis by laser diffraction (ISO 13320 -1). The average particle size results for the test item are: The average particle size results for the test item are: D10 = 2.22 µm, D50 = 11.96 µm, D90 = 48.08 µm, D4,3 = 19.92 µm (Mass moment mean - De Brouckere Mean Diameter).
