Any other information on results incl. tables

The number-based concentration of particles with sizes below 100 nm (smallest
feret diameter) is 100%. The median (D50) of the particle size is 33,8 nm.


The material is therefore classified as “nano” according to the definition of nanomaterial 2011/696/EU.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
- The particles have a median aspect ratio of 1,6:1.
- The shape is “spherical”. The material is assigned to the “spheroidal” shape category.
- The number-based concentration of particles with sizes below 100 nm (smallest feret diameter) is 100%. The median (D50) of the particle size is 33,8 nm.
