Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Literature data (CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 75th Edition)

d (20, w) (density of water at 20 °C) = 0.9982 g/mL

d (4, w) (density of water at 4 °C) = 0.99997 g/mL

d (20, a) (density of air at 20 °C) = 0.0012 g/mL

Conclusions:
The relative density at 20 ºC was was 1.202.
Executive summary:

According to the OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids) corresponding to A.3., Council Regulations EC No 440/2008 the solid sample was accurately weighed into a 20 mL pycnometer and by displacement of the solvent (n-heptan), its equivalent volume was determined. Finally, the density of the sample was calculated. The relative density at 20 ºC was 1.202.

Description of key information

The relative density of the substance at 20 ºC was 1.202.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.202
