FP-100 is a white and slightly grainy powder. Under the microscope (with a magnification of 400) colourless, rectangular formed crystalline structures were observed.

 

A solubility test showed, that the test item is both: sparingly soluble and well dispersible in a water/Sympatens mixture. The particle size distribution of FP-100 was performed with two stock dispersions each measured in duplicate.

 

The individual measurements and the results obtained using the laser diffraction method of FP-100 are summarised in Table 1 and Table 2 of attached report. The tables represent rounded results obtained by using the exact measurement data. An example of the particle size distribution curve is shown in Figure 1 of attached report.

 

The results obtained during the measurements showed no relevant difference. Therefore the study is considered to be valid and no further testing is necessary.

 

In conclusion, using the laser diffraction method to study the particle size of FP-100 ranging between 0.3 µm and 300 µm, the mass median diameter (MMD) was determined to be 116.8 µm.

 

The particle size distribution was found to range from approximately 0.3 µm to 300 µm, with 4.37% of material having a diameter < 10 µm.

 

Conclusions:
In conclusion, using the laser diffraction method to study the particle size of FP-100 ranging between 0.3 µm and 300 µm, the mass median diameter (MMD) was determined to be
