Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental dates: 03 April to 31 July 2019
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. No deviation affected the quality of the study. The substance is adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Version / remarks:
2012
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
Version / remarks:
Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
issued 01/08/2019
Type of method:
pycnometer method
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Storage Conditions: Refrigerated (2 to 8°C), dark, in an amber glass bottle.
Dynamic viscosity of test material:
The usual procedure for liquids is suitable for those with dynamic viscosity less than 500 Pa.s. The viscosity value of the test item was not available, but it was visually considered suitable for measurement.

The duplicate determinations fell within the estimated accuracy of the method (± 0.05 units).

Conclusions:
The substance is slightly less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test substance was determined under GLP according to OECD 109/EU A3 guidelines, using the pycnometer method.

Duplicate deteminations were performed, density was compared to water at 4°C, and the mean value was retained.

The relative density D20/4 of the test substance was determined to be 0.98.

Description of key information

The substance is slightly less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.98

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EU method and under GLP, is available.

It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
