Conclusions:
The mass median diameter of the melam sample is 212.09 µm.
Executive summary:

A laser diffraction particle sizer, HELOS (H3982) provided with a RODOS dispersion device, was used to determine the particle size distribution. A Vibri feeder dosing system was used. The mass median diameter of the NC2000S sample was measured as 212.09 µm. The D10 was measured as 124,85µm. The material is not considered as nano and probably not entering the alveolar region.

Description of key information

 The material is not considered as nano and probably not entering the alveolar region

Additional information

Samples of NC2000S had a mean particle size diameter of 212.09 µm.
