Results
Two test series of 3 measurements each were performed with the test item.

Test series 1

D10:     0.8 µm

D50:     3.5 µm (Median diameter)

D90:     7.1 µm

Test series 2

D10:     0.8 µm

D50:     3.5 µm (Median diameter)

D90:     7.1 µm

Average

D10:     0.8 µm

D50:     3.5 µm (Median diameter)

D90:     7.1 µm

Final Results
The test item has a median particle size D50 = 3.5 µm, which was determined by laser diffraction measurement according to OECD Test Guideline 110 (1981) and ISO 13320 (2009).
