Results

Measurements of the test item were made in each of two test series:

Test series 1

D10: 49.6 µm

D50: 163.3 µm (Median diameter)

D90: 367.9 µm

 

Test series 2

D10: 50.6 µm

D50: 166.9 µm (Median diameter)

D90: 370.4 µm

Average

D10: 50.1 µm

D50: 165.1 µm (Median diameter)

D90: 369.2 µm

 

Final results

The test item has a median particle size D50= 165 µm, which was determined by laser diffraction measurement.

 

Conclusions:
Particle size distribution values of 50.1 µm (D10), 165.1 µm (D50) and 369.2 µm (D90) were determined for the test substance according to OECD 110.

Description of key information
