Percentage with a respirable particle size <5.5 µm (Cascade Impactor): 0.17 % - Executive summary:
The particle size distribution of FAT 40061/F was according to European Commission Technical Guidance Document EUR 20268 ‘Determination of Particle Size Distribution, Fibre Length and Diameter Distribution of chemical substances’ (2002). The study included a screening test which was performed using a sieving apparatus with a 100 µm stainless steel mesh used as sieve to find out the the percentage of test item with a particle size less than 100 µm. In the second stage, cascade impactor was used to find out the percentage of test with a particle size range of nominally 0.3 to 10 µm. Sampling for the cascade impactor determinations was performed by rolling the test item container for approximately 10 minutes then sampled from the top, middle and bottom. Too few particles were of a size less than 10.0 μm to allow accurate assessment of the mass median aerodynamic diameter.
Particle size data acquired for the FAT 40067/F is:
Percentage with an inhalable particle size <100 µm (Sieve Method): 95.9 %
Percentage with a thoracic particle size <10.0 µm (Cascade Impactor): 0.27 %
Percentage with a respirable particle size <5.5 µm (Cascade Impactor): 0.17 %
