Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There are no Feropur particles < 100 µm.
Executive summary:

Melted Feropur is filled into a drum where it cooles down and forms a solid block with either 58 cm diameter and 88 cm height or 38 cm diameter and 59 cm height, respectively, depending on the drum size. These drums are conserquently sealed. After cooling, Feropur forms a solid block.

Microscopic investigation showed no particles < 100 µm.
