Conclusions:
The average particle size results for the test item are: D10 = 1.4 μm, D50 =10.17 μm, D90 = 22.67 μm, D4,3 = 11.33.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution for the test substance was determined according to OECD 110 / CIPAC MT 187 / ISO 13320-1 (Laser diffraction method) under GLP conditions. 0.1 g of the tested material were dispersed in 0.5% Tween 80 aqueous solution and transferred drop by drop to the dispersion unit of the measuring equipment until the appropriate concentration was reached. Based on the measurement of the light scattered by the particles, the volumetric particle size distribution was determined. The average particle size results for the test item were: D10 = 1.4 μm, D50 = 10.17 μm, D90 = 22.67 μm, D4,3 = 11.33 μm (Mass moment mean - De Brouckere Mean Diameter).
