Any other information on results incl. tables

The analyis was done in a first and a second test series.

The median particle size L50 (D (v, 0.5): 50 % of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:

1st test series: L50 = 51.8 µm

2nd test series: L50 = 50.2 µm

The average of the median particle size L50 was:

L50 = 51 µm

The particle size L10 (D (v, 0.1 ): 10 % of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:

1st test series: L10 = 20.3 µm

2nd test series: L10 = 19.4 µm

The average of the particle size L10 was:

L10 = 20 µm

The particle size L90 (D (v, 0.9): 90 % of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:

1st test series: L90 = 346.4 µm

2nd test series: L90 = 339.6 µm

The average of the particle size L90 was:

L90 = 343 µm

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The particle size was as follows: d10 = 20 µm, d50 = 51.0 µm, d90 = 343 µm.
