Any other information on results incl. tables

The particle size distribution showed a polymodal distribution with a shoulder and two distinctive

maxima. The shoulder was observed at approximately 50 μm. The first maximum was observed at

approximately 2 μm and second at approximately 200 μm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The median particle size L50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions is 2.2 um.
The particle size L10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions is 0.7 um.
The particle size L90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions is 12.5 um.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was the determination of the particle size distribution by laser diffraction of the

test items. The study was performed according to the European Commission Regulation (EC) No.

440/2008 and under consideration of the following guideline: OECD 110 (1981): Particle Size Distribution.

The median particle size L50 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions is 2.2 um.

The particle size L10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions is 0.7 um.

The particle size L90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions is 12.5 um.
