- Conclusions:
- The particle size distribution of the dry weak dispersion test method GRADIS/L showed, that the particle, as they exist, were agglomerated and the distribution of the particles were very large. The particles larger than 1400 μm could have been measured because either the asymmetric particles fell through the 1400 μm sieve at a certain angle and were detected by the laser in the measurement, or some smaller particles could have been detected as one larger particle due to clumping or agglomeration. The particle size distribution of the dry intense dispersion test method RODOS/L showed, that the particles were dispersed by the dispersion pressure to smaller particles. But the particle size became only slightly smaller with increasing dispersion pressure. Thus, one can say that the particles were quite robust and were already relatively strongly dispersed with weak dispersion pressure. The small change in particle size with increasing dispersion pressure could have been caused by dispersion or particle destruction.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to determine the Particle size of the test substance. The particle size was determined by sieving until a particle size of 1.4 mm and the particles lower than 1400 μm were determined by laser diffraction according to OECD Test Guideline 110 (1981) and ISO 13320 (2009).The particle sizes lower than 1.40 mm were determined by laser diffraction.
A range of the median particle size D50 = 280.89 – 499.99 μm at the dispersion method GRADIS/L was determined. Afterwards a range of the median particle size D50 = 44.45 – 49.71 μm at the dispersion method RODOS/L with a dispersion pressure 1 bar and a range of the median particle size D50 = 40.59 – 41.23 μm at the dispersion method RODOS/L with a dispersion pressure 2 bar were determined. The range of the particle size distribution was calculated by 3 singular measurements. The particle size of the test method GRADIS/L showed most closely the particles how they exist. The test method RODOS/L showed how the particles behaved under pressure (1 bar and 2 bar) and thus probably the lowest possible particles. The particle size distribution of the dry weak dispersion test method GRADIS/L showed, that the particle, as they exist, were agglomerated and the distribution of the particles were very large.

Description of key information
The registered item is a powder where approximately 36% is less than 1.40 mm. Of that 36%, 10% of the particles are approximately ≤ 39 µm (i.e., 3.6% ≤ 39 µm), 50% are ≤ 500 µm (i.e., 18% are ≤ 500 µm), and 90% are ≤ 2141 µm (i.e., 32.4% are ≤ 2141 µm).
