Description of key information

D10 = 1.78 µm
D50 = 10.39-11.15 µm
D90 = 25.40-27.3 µm
(laser diffraction)

Additional information

The particle size distribution of Fatty acids, C16-18 (even numbered), aluminum salts was determined by laser diffraction for four different qualities which were produced from fatty acids of different origin (hydrogenated tallow and vegetable raw material).

All particle size distributions are very similar (see table). The two studies with lowest diameter values were chosen as key studies.
