Two test series of 3 measurements each were performed with the test item.

Test series 1:

D10:      8.502 µm

D50:      42.084 µm       (Median diameter)

D90:      142.234 µm

Test series 2:

D10:      8.679 µm

D50:      43.000 µm       (Median diameter)

D90:      151.336 µm

Average

D10:      8.59 µm

D50:      42.54 µm       (Median diameter)

D90:      146.79 µm

Conclusions:
The test item has a median particle size D50 = 42.54 µm, which was determined by laser diffraction measurement.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 110 to determine the particle size distribution of the test item. The particle size distribution was determined using the laser diffraction method.


The median mass diameter was determined as 42.54 µm, while the 10 % quantile was 8.59 µm and the 90 % quantile was 146.79 µm
