Conclusions:
The average particle size for the test item is 0.279 µm (D10), 4.334 µm (D50), 9.337 µm (D90) and the mass moment mean (D4,3) is 4.672 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size of the tested substance was determined using a Coulter  LS 13 320. The method used was in accordance with OECD guideline 110, CIPAC MT 187 and ISO 13320- 1, following GLP. The volumetric particle size distribution using the laser scattering method was recorded. The average particle size for the test item is 0.279 µm (D10), 4.334 µm (D50), 9.337 µm (D90) and the mass moment mean (D4,3) is 4.672 µm.
