Mean density of test material = 984.03 kg/m3

Density of water at 4°C = 1000.00 kg/m3

Relative density = 984.03/1000

                        = 0.98403

Conclusions:
A relative density value of 0.984 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: 0.984 at 20.5°C (EU Method A.3)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.984

Additional information

Three measured relative density studies are available for the submission substance. A measured relative density of 0.984 at 20.5°C was determined for the substance using a pycnometer method in accordance with EU Method A.3 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

In available supporting studies, a measured relative density of 0.9848 at 20°C was determined for the substance using an oscillating densitometer method in accordance with DIN 51757 and in compliance with GLP. Also, a relative density value of 0.9852 at 20°C was determined for the substance using a pycnometer method in accordance with EU Method A.3 and in compliance with GLP. The supporting studies are in good agreement with the key study.
