Physical & Chemical properties

Particle size distribution (Granulometry)

Administrative data

Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Remarks:
Migrated phrase: estimated by calculation
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
10-Dec-2009
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
expert statement - scientifically justified. RS-Pantolactone is an agglomerating solid and appears as one big hunk. To measure any particle size distribution experimentally, the hunk must be pulverized. This is impossible without altering the particle size distribution. Therefore no particle size distribution could be determined.

Any other information on results incl. tables

RS-Pantolactone is an agglomerating solid and appears as one big hunk. To measure any particle size distribution experimentally, the hunk must be pulverized. This is impossible without altering the particle size distribution. Therefore no particle size distribution could be determined.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
RS-Pantolactone is an agglomerating solid. It is impossible to determine an unaltered particle size distribution experimentally.
Executive summary:

RS-Pantolactone is an agglomerating solid. It is impossible to determine an unaltered particle size distribution experimentally.
