Test results refer to sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) containing excess disodium oxide (Na2O) as stabiliser.

Conclusions:
A gas comparison pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of Sodium aluminate. The density of the test substance at 20 °C was 2.60 g/cm3 (2.60 x 103 kg/m3). The relative density was 2.60.
Executive summary:

Description of key information

Relative density at 20 °C is determined as 2.6  for solid and 1.49 for an aqueous solution (38.3%).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The key values of relative density are determined according to OECD guideline 109 under GLP. Relative density at 20 °C is determined as 2.6 for solid (Baltussen 2010) and 1.49 for an aqueous solution (38.3%) (Brekelmans 2010). Test results refer to sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) containing excess disodium oxide (Na2O) as stabiliser.

Density reported in peer reviewed handbook (Lide 2005): 4.63 g/cm3 (temperature is not stated).
