In conclusion it can be stated that the particles of FAT 40'576/A are spherical and they tend to form agglomerates, even after sieving. The measurement of the single particles was not possible only agglomerates were measured. There was only minor fraction with a size below 75 urn in the sieve test. The main agglomerate size was found in the range of 2000 urn to 250 urn. Less than 10 % (mean of two measurements) of the particles/agglomerates were smaller than 250 urn.
