Conclusions:
Agglomerates/aggregates of cerium gadolinium oxide show the following percentile values: D10, D50 and D90 of 0.95, 13.7 and 44.1 µm, respectively, before ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath and D10, D50 and D90 of 0.47, 4.0 and 21.2 µm, respectively after 2mn of ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of cerium gadolinium oxide was investigated in a non-GLP compliant study using an internal method highly adapted to the in-house products. Agglomerate/aggregate sizes were measured by laser diffraction, a method recommended in internationally recognized guidelines. Agglomerates/aggregates of cerium gadolinium oxide show the following percentile values: D10, D50 and D90 of 0.95, 13.7 and 44.1 µm, respectively, before ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath and D10, D50 and D90 of 0.47, 4.0 and 21.2 µm, respectively after 2mn of ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath.

Description of key information

Agglomerates/aggregates of cerium gadolinium oxide show the following percentile values: D10, D50 and D90 of 0.95, 13.7 and 44.1 µm, respectively, before ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath and D10, D50 and D90 of 0.47, 4.0 and 21.2 µm, respectively after 2mn of ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath.

Additional information

An experimental study not performed under GLP compliance, using an internal method highly adapted to the in-house products and recommended in internationally-recognized guidelines (i.e. laser diffraction) was flagged as a key study and assigned a Klimisch score of 2. It reports that agglomerates/aggregates of cerium gadolinium oxide show the following percentile values: D10, D50 and D90 of 0.95, 13.7 and 44.1 µm, respectively, before ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath and D10, D50 and D90 of 0.47, 4.0 and 21.2 µm, respectively after 2mn of ultrasonic dispersion in a US bath.
