Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Density = Weight gain due to the immersion of the body in liquid sample/Volume of the body (11.369 cm3)

Relative Density (D20/4 = Density at 20 °C/ Density of Water at 4 °C

Density of water at 4 °C = 1 000 kg/m3

Conclusions:
The density of the test item was determined to be 996.7 kg/m3 at 20°C, and the relative density 0.997.
Executive summary:

The density of the test item was determined by Immersed body method (a buoyancy method for liquids) according to the OECD guideline 109. A glass sphere with a volume of 11.369 cm3was immersed in the liquid test substance for the calculation of the density. The test was repeated three times and the respective results were averaged. The density of the test item was determined to be 996.7 kg/m3 at 20°C.

The study is reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1), as it follows a standard test guideline.
