Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test material was shown to contain 42.6 % of particles to be <100 μm, 0.259% of particles to be <10 μm and 0.111% of particles to be
<5.5 μm.
Executive summary:

In a determination of general physico-chemical properties study (Harlan project number: 0959/0234) The substance was shown to contain 42.6 % of particles to be <100 μm, 0.259% of particles to be <10 μm and 0.111% of particles to be <5.5 μm.
