Conclusions:
The average fraction size distribution for the test item was: over 710 μm: 0.73%, fraction 500 - 710 μm: 0.35%, fraction 250 -500 μm: 1.00%, fraction 125 - 250 μm: 5.52%, fraction 75 - 125 μm: 30.91%, fraction 63 - 75 μm: 39.01%, fraction 45 - 63 μm: 12.67%, under 45 μm: 9.83%.
Executive summary:

The particle size of the tested substance was determined using a dry sieve test in accordance with OECD guideline 110 and CIPAC MT 170, following GLP. The tested material was weighed and transferred to clean and dry set of sieves ranging from 45 µm to 710 µm. The average fraction size distribution for the test item was: over 710 μm: 0.73%, fraction 500 - 710 μm: 0.35%, fraction 250 - 500 μm: 1.00%, fraction 125 - 250 μm: 5.52%, fraction 75 - 125 μm: 30.91%, fraction 63 - 75 μm: 39.01%, fraction 45 - 63 μm: 12.67%, under 45 μm: 9.83%.
