Two  test  series  of 3  measurements  each  were  performed  with  the fine  fraction  of the  test item.

Test series 1:

D10:  8.0 µm

D50: 49.2 µm (Median diameter)

D90: 123.5 µm

Test series 2:

D10:  8.2 µm

D50:  51.1 µm  (Median diameter)

D90:  127.4 µm

Average

D10:  8.1 µm

D50:  50.1 µm  (Median diameter)

D90:  125.5 µm

Conclusions:
In the present study the particle size distribution of the test substance was determined using laser diffraction. The powder is brought via a powder dispersing cell into the laser light beam and the diffraction pattern is determined. From the diffraction pattern the particle size distribution was calculated. The test item has a median particle size D50 = 50.1 µm.

Description of key information

In the present study the particle size distribution of the test substance was determined using laser diffraction. The test item has a median particle size D50 = 50.1 µm.

Additional information

In a study according to OECD guideline 110, (1981) the particle size distribution of 2,4 -Bismaleimidotoluene was determined using laser diffraction. The powder is brought via a powder dispersing cell into the laser light beam and the diffraction pattern is determined. Two  test  series  of 3  measurements  each  were  performed  with  the fine  fraction  of the test item. From the diffraction pattern the particle size distribution was calculated. The test item has a median particle size D50 = 50.1 µm.
