Conclusions:
The mean particle diameter of TMP is 75.66 micrometer.
Executive summary:

The mean particle diameter of TMP (TMP < 100 micrometer sieve fraction) is 75.66 micrometer as determined experimentally according to OECD GUIDELINE FOR TESTING OF CHEMICALS, method B (Karbach, 2010). Regarding the TMP fraction < 100 micrometer, 70.82 % possess a mean diameter of 5 -100 micrometer, no particles, that means 0 % were detected possessing a mean diameter from < 0.4 - 5 micrometer.

29.18 % possess a mean diameter of > 100 micrometer.
