Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of Captan was determined according to CIPAC MT 187.

The optical observation of the test item is depicted in the following table.

Determined particle size range:

L10D(v,0.1)

1.8 µm

L50D(v,0.5)

12.6 µm

L90D(v,0.9)

34.0 µm

Description of key information

Particle size distribution (optical observation), determined particle size range: L10D(v,0.1): 1.8 µm; L50D(v,0.5): 12.6 µm; L90D(v,0.9): 34.0 µm, Guideline CIPAC MT 187

Additional information

Medium particle size was determined to be 12.6 µm according to CIPAC MT 187 method. Particle size has to be considered for choosing the right PPE (personal protection equipment) for inhalation exposure.
