Pre-Test Flowability

40 °C: The test material was still solid (like at room temperature)

50 °C: The test material was still solid (like at room temperature)

60 °C: The test material was a soft mass, but not flowable

70 °C: Test material was a yellowish cloudy flowable liquid

- After cooling down of the test material sample, deionised water was added. No visual change of the test material and the deionised water were observed.

Discussion

- The density of the test material was calculated as 0.9816 ± 0.0004 g/cm^3 at 20 ± 0.2 °C, which is the mean of two values.

- Precision of the value is given as maximal error of a single determination.

- Standard deviation was 0.0055 g/cm^3, showing acceptable correlation of the two determinations. Therefore, the study is considered valid.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the relative density of the test material was 0.9816.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 109 and EU Method A.3, under GLP conditions.

The density of the test material was calculated as 0.9816 ± 0.0004 g/cm^3 at 20 ± 0.2 °C, which is the mean of two values. Standard deviation was 0.0055 g/cm^3, showing acceptable correlation of the two determinations. Therefore, the study is considered valid.

Under the conditions of this study, the relative density of the test material was 0.9816.

Description of key information

Additional information

The relative density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 109 and EU Method A.3, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The density of the test material was calculated as 0.9816 ± 0.0004 g/cm^3 at 20 ± 0.2 °C, which is the mean of two values. Standard deviation was 0.0055 g/cm^3, showing acceptable correlation of the two determinations. Therefore, the study is considered valid.

Under the conditions of this study, the relative density of the test material was 0.9816.
