Results:

A measurement chamber with a volume of Vc= 7.8961 cm3and an expansion chamber with a volume of Vr= 6.0848 cm3were used.

Two test series with different weights were performed at ambient temperature (20.0 °C). For results see Table1 and Table2.

Mean density for the two test series: 1.445 g/cm3

Relative density (compared to water at 4 °C) D4R: 1.45

Executive summary:

The relative density of the test item at ambient temperature (compared to water at 4 °C) was determined to be:

D4R = 1.45      (20.0 °C)

Description of key information

The density of the test item was determined according to the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method, A.3. Density of liquids and solids: Gas comparison pycnometer and according to the OECD test guideline, OECD 109 Density of liquids and solids.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.45
