Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Dibismuth trioxide has a density of 8.93 g/cm3 measured at 20°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 8.93
Additional information
All values available for dibismuth trioxide are for the density. The key value should be entered as the relative (specific) density of the substance. Since no reference is explicitly stated, it can be assumed that water at 4 °C (or, more precisely, 3.98 °C, which is the temperature at which water reaches its maximum density) is the reference. The density of water is (approximately) 1 g/cm3, which makes relative density calculations particularly convenient: the density of the object only needs to be divided by 1.
For the evaluation of this endpoint data from the CRC handbook, the Gestis database and one MSDS were used as a weight of evidence.
According to ECHA, guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment – chapter R.7a, specific handbook data for physic-chemical properties are considered to be a reliable data source. Useful reference books and data compilations containing peer reviewed physico-chemical data include the Merck Index and the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.
The CRC handbook as the most reliable reference and the Gestis database as a supportive information provide a value for density of 8.93g/cm³.
Concerning the available MSDS: According to the European Chemicals Agency, 2010 (Practical guide 2: How to report weight of evidence),values for physico-chemical properties taken from material safety data sheets (MSDSs) can only be assigned a reliability rating of (4), not assignable, unless detailed information such as the experimental methodology are provided to enable the preparation of a (robust) study summary.
However, the density stated in the MSDS is nearly equal to the values stated above: 9.0g/cm³.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
