Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Accurately weighed a 180-µm sieve and an empty pan. Accurately weighed 10.49 g of test substance into the sieve. Place sieve and pan on a sieve shaker and shook for 10 minutes. Re-weighed the sieve and the pan. Calculated the percentage of particles that were less than 105-µm. The particles less than 105-µm were sent out to New Jersey Institute of Technology Material Characterization Laboratory for particle size distribution using a Beckman Coulter LS 230 Particle Size Analyzer.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
0.48% of particles were <105 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size of the test substance was measured and the percentage of particles that were less than 105-µm was calculated. The particles less than 105 µm were sent for particle size distribution using a Beckman Coulter LS 230 Particle Size Analyzer. 0.45% of the particles were <105 µm.
