Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results
Two test with different amounts of test item were done to determine the relative density D420 at a temperature of 20 ± 0.01 °C. Table 1 shows the results obtained.

*The pressurizing-expansion cycles are performed until 5 subsequent volume measurements have a relative standard deviation of ≤0.2%.

The mean density of the test item at 20 °C is 1.17234 g/cm3. The relative density is calculated by dividing the test item’s density by that of water at 4 °C. Hence, the relative density is: D420= 1.17

Description of key information

Relative Density: 1.17 at 20 °C (OECD 109, pycnometer method).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.17
