Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item consists of uniformly sized, angular/globular particles.No whiskers have been identified in the test item (whiskers are short, discontinuous, rod- or needle-shaped single crystals in the size range 0.1-5µm in diameter and >5µm in length (Definition from: T.N. Tiegs, S.C. Weaver, Whiskers and Platelet Synthesis Processes. Carbide, Nitride and Boride Materials Synthesis and Processing, chapter 16, A.W. Weimer (ed.), Chapman & Hall, London, 1997))
