Conclusions:
The tap density of the test item was found to be 286.7 kg/m3. The particle size distribution of the test item was found to be [37µm; 210 µm].
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was the determination of the particle size distribution of the test item. The study was performed in accordance with CIPAC MT 170, Dry Sieve Analysis of Water Dispersible Granules using also CIPAC MT 169, Tap Density of Water Disperse Granules. In conclusion the tap density of the test item was found to be 0.287 g/mL and the particle size distribution of the test item was found to be [37 μm; 210 μm].

Description of key information

The tap density of the test item was determined according to CIPAC MT 169.

The particle size distribution of the test item was found to be [37 μm; 210 μm].

Additional information

The tap density of the test item was determined according to CIPAC MT 169. The sample mass for the sieve test was calculated and the machine sieving was carried out using the following test sieves 1000 µm, 710 µm, 600 µm, 210 µm, 120 µm, 90 µm, 37 µm and 25 µm. The particle size distribution of the test item was found to be [37 μm; 210 μm].
