Conclusions:
With a median mass diameter of about 33.23 µm, more than 98% of the particles were smaller than 100µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item was performed according to the EC Guidance Document ECB/TM/February 1996 "Particle Size Distribution, Fibre Length and Diameter Distribution" using laser diffraction.

Water was used as solvent. Two solutions were prepared, both measured in duplicate.

With a median mass diameter of about 33.23 µm, more than 98% of the particles were smaller than 100µm.

Description of key information

D10: ca. 7.82 µm
D50: ca. 33.23 µm
D90: ca. 66.82 µm
Test item is produced and used in its dissolved form: there is no chance of inhalative exposure during entiry life cycle
