Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
February 02, 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study

Results

The results of the density measurements are given in the following table.

Measurement

DensityrP20/ g / cm3

1

0.9149

2

0.9149

Mean

0.9149

Duplicate determinations are within accuracy; therefore the average value is retained.

Mean densityrP20for the two tests: 0.91 g/cm3

Relative density (compared to water at 4 °C) D420: 0.91/1.00=0.91

Conclusions:
The mean relative density of the test item was D20/4 = 0,91
Less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured according to OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, using oscillating density meter. After calibration, two determinations were performed and the mean value was retained.

The relative density of the test item was measured as D20/4= 0,91

Description of key information

The mean relative density of the test item was D20/4 = 0,91.

The mean density of the test item was 0.9149 g/cm3 at 20.0 +/- 0.1°C (mean of two determinations).

Less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.91

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to OECD 109 /EU A3 guideline, using oscillating density meter, is available. It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
