Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item was determined with the pycnometer method and the relative densitiy is 1.3497.

Description of key information

Relative density is 1.3497 (EEC method A.3. and OECD Guideline 109, pycnometer method, GLP)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.35

Additional information

In a GLP study conducted according to Directive 92/69/EEC, A.3. and OECD Guideline 109 (1995) (pycnometer method) the relative density was determined to be 1.3497.
