Conclusions:

Median mass distribution diameter: 13.8 μm.

Executive summary:

The substance was tested for its particle size distribution by the light (laser) diffraction method. The diffraction pattern, produced after the passage of a laser beam through the suspension of the substance in hexane, was measured and analysed.

The percent mass above 400 μm diameter is 0 %, while the one below 4 μm diameter is 2 %; the median mass distribution diameter resulted to be 13.8 μm.

Conclusion

The median mass distribution diameter is 13.8 μm.

Description of key information
