- Executive summary:
The particle size distribution of the test item is determined by laser diffraction (light scattering) according to OECD TG 110 and ISO13320:2009.The light from a low power Helium-Neon laser is used to form a collimated and monochromatic beam of light.The beam of light is known as the analyser beam and any particles present within this beam will scatter this laser light.The test item was tested as a liquid dispersion in demineralized water (with 1 % detergent). Before the measurement the test item was mixed with demineralized water (with 1 % detergent) and homogenised. This homogenised dispersion was fed to the sample unit, which was filled with demineralized water (with 1 % detergent).Two test series of three measurements each were performed. The median particle size D50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 245 µm. The particle size D10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 61 µm. The particle size D90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 658 µm.
Reference
The median particle size D50 (D (v, 0.5): 50 % of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:
1st test series: D50 = 239.4 µm
2nd test series: D50 = 249.8 µm
The average of the median particle size D50 was: D50 = 245 µm
The particle size D10 (D (v, 0.1): 10% of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:
1st test series: D10 = 60.3 µm
2nd test series: D10 = 61.9 µm
The average of the particle size D10 was: D10 = 61 µm
The particle size D90 (D (v, 0.9): 90 % of particle volume or particle mass with lower particle diameter) deduced from these distributions were:
1st test series: D90 = 635.9 µm
2nd test series: D90 = 679.2 µm
The average of the particle size D90 was: D90 = 658 µm
The particle size distribution showed a monomodal distribution. The maximum was observed at approximately 350 µm. Additionally a weak shoulder was observed at approximately 10 µm.
Final results
The median particle size D50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 245 µm.
The particle size D10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 61 µm.
The particle size D90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 658 µm.
