Conclusions:
The relative density (D4^20) of the test item was determined to be 1.0023 ± 0.00015 (with 95 % confidence interval) at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the relative density of test item using pycnometer method according to EU Method A.3, OECD 109, and EPA OPPTS 830.7300. The density is calculated from the difference in weight between the full and empty pycnometer and its known volume. The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.0023 ± 0.00015 (95 % confidence interval) at 20°C.

Description of key information

The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.0023 ± 0.00015 (95 % confidence interval) at 20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
