Reference
Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
August 2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 13320 (Particle size analysis - Laser diffraction methods)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Laser diffraction method - The test was conducted according to the guidance of the apparatus used. A short description is given below:
The dry test substance is dispersed and passes a laser in form of an aerosol. In dependence on the particle size the laser is diffracted. The resulting so called “Fraunhofer” diffraction spectrum is bundled using a converging lens in a multi-element photo detector. In dependence of the particle size distribution a radial symmetric intensity distribution is generated. The measured intensity is analysed by a computer and converted into a particle size distribution.
GLP compliance:
yes
Other quality assurance:
ISO/IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
Type of method:
Laser scattering/diffraction
Type of particle tested:
primary particle
Type of distribution:
volumetric distribution

Conclusions:
The median value of particle size of TDI urone is 1.48 µm.
Executive summary:

The granulometric properties of TDI urone were analysed with the laser diffraction method according to guideline ISO 13320 -1. The particle size distribution was determined using the particle size analysator HELOS KF (H0119) from Sympatec with a Sympatec RODOS dry dispersing unit. The test material was dried via dispersing and run in form of an aerosol fluent through a laser beam. The median value of particle size is 1.48 µm.
