Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The median particle size D50 was determined to be 114 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item was investigated in a study conducted according to ISO 13320 (Particle size analysis - Laser diffraction methods), OECD Guideline 110 (Particle Size Distribution / Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions - Method A: Particle Size Distribution (effective hydrodynamic radius), and EPA OPPTS 830.7520 (Particle Size, Fiber Length, and Diameter Distribution) via laser diffraction. The median particle size D50 was determined to be 233 µm. The test item was found to consist of a coarse fraction with a particle size >2000 µm of 45.2 % and a fine fraction with a particle size of <2000 µm of 54.8 %.
