Reference
The particle size distribution showed a monomodal distribution. The maximum was observed at approximately 250 µm and a shoulder was observed at approximately 7 µm.
Due to the coarse particles the test item was sieved before the measurement (1000 µm mesh wire sieve). Only this fraction was measured with laser diffraction. The median particle size L50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 177.3 µm. The particle size L10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 36.0 µm. The particle size L90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 443.5 µm.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
