Conclusions:
The relative density mean value of the test item using the gas comparison method with the stereopycnometer was 1.220 ± 0.003.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test item (= substance EC 939-455-3) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids) and EU Method A.3 (Relative Density). The mean relative density of the test item using the gas comparison method was 1.220 ± 0.003.

Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
C8-C18 AAPHS and C12-18 AAPHS have the same functional groups, and general composition. The main variable resides in the alkyl chain distribution.

2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Source chemical = C8-18 cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (EC 939-455-3).
Target chemical = C12-18 cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (EC 939-457-4).

3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The alkyl C-chain distribution of the source chemical significantly overlaps with the one of the target chemical, the C12-alkyl derivative being the major constituent in both chemicals. The structural differences in side C-chains is not expected to lead to significant differences on phys-chem properties.

4. DATA MATRIX
See "Documentation and scientific justification of the read-across approach" in section 13.2.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Type:
relative density
Density:
1.22 other: dimensionless
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: read-across from EC 939-455-3
Conclusions:
By analogy with the source substance EC 939-455-3, a relative density of 1.220 ± 0.003 was reported for the target substance 1-Propanaminium, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-sulfo-, N-(C12-18(even numbered) acyl) derivs., hydroxides, inner salts (EC 939-457-4).

Description of key information

As the relative density of the substance EC 939-457-4 has not been determined experimentally, a read-across approach was followed to fill in the endpoint. The relative density of a structural analogue substance (= source substance EC 939-455-3) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study (Ricau, 2013) performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids) and EU Method A.3 (Relative Density). The mean relative density of the analogue substance was 1.220 ± 0.003. By analogy, a mean relative density of 1.220 ± 0.003 was reported for the target substance 1-Propanaminium, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-sulfo-, N-(C12-18(even numbered) acyl) derivs., hydroxides, inner salts (EC 939-457-4).

The alkyl C-chain distribution of the source substance EC 939-455-3 significantly overlaps with the one of the target substance EC 939-457-7, the C12-alkyl derivative being the major constituent in both chemicals. The structural differences in side C-chains is not expected to lead to significant differences on phys-chem properties.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:

Additional information

The relative density of the structural analogue substance (= source substance EC 939-455-3) was investigated in a GLP-compliant study (Ricau, 2013) performed in accordance with standard methods, without deviations. The study is considered as reliable (Klimisch 1) and was selected as key study for the endpoint of the target substance EC 939-457-4.
