The results obtained showed that the mass median diameter (assuming a density of 1) is 82.06 µm and that particles covered the range 0.73 µm to 413.6 µm. 16.79 % of the sample had particles over 200 µm in diameter and only 1.13 % was below 2 µm in diameter.

Conclusions:
The mass median diameter of the test substance is 82.06 µm.
Executive summary:

The particle size destribution was determined according to OECD guideline 110A (for particle size Coulter Counter) (Huntingdon, ECHA RSS, 2017). The results obtained showed that the mass median diameter (assuming a density of 1) is 82.06 µm and that particles covered the range 0.73 µm to 413.6 µm. 16.79 % of the sample had particles over 200 µm in diameter and only 1.13 % were below 2 µm in diameter.

Description of key information
