Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Mean density of test material = 941.36 kg/m3

Density of water at 4°C = 1000.0 kg/m3

Relative density = 941.36/1000.0 = 0.94136

Conclusions:
A relative density value of 0.9414 at 20.5 ± 0.5°C has been determined for the substance using an appropriate test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered reliable.

Description of key information

Relative density: 0.9414 at 20.5 ± 0.5°C (EU Method A.3)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.941

Additional information

Three reliable measured relative density studies are available for the submission substance. A measured relative density of 0.9414 at 20.5 ± 0.5°C was determined for the substance using a pycnometer method in accordance with EU Test Method A.3 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

Also, a relative density of 0.943 at 20°C was determined for the substance using a buoyancy method in accordance with EU Method A.3 and in compliance with GLP. In addition, a relative density value of 0.9428 at 20°C was also obtained for the substance. The key study has been selected as the most recent study.

In available secondary sources to which reliability could not be assigned, relative density values of 0.94219 at 20°C and 0.94009 at 25°C were reported for the substance. The supporting studies are in good agreement with the key study.
