Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Particle size data acquired for the test item is shown in the following table:

Measurement Method Result
Percentage of test item with an inhalable particle size <100 μm Sieve 36.8%
Percentage of test item with a thoracic particle size <10.0 μm Cascade Impactor 7.8%
Percentage of test item with a respirable particle size <5.5 μm Cascade Impactor 1.9%
Executive summary:

Particle size data was acquired, using a procedure designed to be compatible with the European Commission Technical Guidance Document EUR 20268 'Determination of Particle Size Distribution, Fibre Length and Diameter Distribution of

Chemical Substances' (2002). The results are as follows:

Measurement                                                                                    Method              Result

Percentage of test item with an inhalable particle size <100 μm              Sieve              36.8%

Percentage of test item with a thoracic particle size <10.0 μm              Cascade Impactor       7.8%
