Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
Laser diffraction is the well experienced standard procedure for pigments to determine particle size distribution of the substance as it is manufactured and delivered.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Given standard deviation is based on the general experience with pigments and the method. The estimated values are typical standard deviations:

D10: 4 % of D10 (minimum value 0.05 µm)

D50: 13 % of D50 (minimum value 0.1 µm)

D90: 29 % of D90 - D50
