Since in the sample there are coarse flakes (dimensions sometimes> 2mm) the direct application of the laser granulometry is not possible. A preliminary manual sieving was carried out, with a laser granulometry only on the 0.5 mm loop.

Sample Preparation : The sample was analyzed as is. 5 independent preparations were performed of the aliquot for laser particle size, each read 3 times. Sieving: square meshes are used.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The percentage of particles with diameters between 2.13 μm and 2.42 μm is equal to 0.21% V/V. 0.21% V/V is linked to the fact that the concept of "volume of fraction of interest with respect to the total volume of particles" is used in laser granulometry ".

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The granulometry test was performed according to the ISO 13320 guideline. The test substance has the following granulometry:

D (volume) 10% : 17.3 µm

D (volume) 50% : 133 µm

D (volume) 90% : 385 µm
