Conclusions:
D50: between 1003 and 1680 µm
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item was determined by dry sieve test , according to the CIPAC MT 59, “Dry Sieve test” guideline.

The dry sieve test with the test item was carried out in duplicate. The sieve with 420 µm size retained ≥ 90% of the particles; the sieve with 2057 µm size, retained ≤ 10% of the particles.

The median of particle size (D50) of the test item resulted to be between 1003 and 1680 µm.

Conclusion

D50: between 1003 and 1680 µm

Description of key information

D50: between 1003 and 1680 µm
