A solubility test showed, that the test item is both: sparingly soluble and well dispersible in water containing 0.2 g/l sympatens SHO/400. For the particle size distribution measurement the test item was dispersed two times in pre-saturated water

The particle size distribution was found to range from approximately 0.3 µm to 100 µm.

The mass median diameter was determined to be 16.7 µm.

Conclusions:
The particle size distribution of test substance was measured to be MMD=16.7 µm
Executive summary:

In this EC guideline study conducted to GLP standards, the test material (EC 438-340-0) was determined to have a particle size distribution of MMD=16.7 µm.

Description of key information

Study conducted to recognised testing guidelines with GLP.

Additional information

MMD= 16.7µm
D10= 1.5µm
D90= 40µm
