Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
relative density
Density:
1.48
Temp.:
20 °C

The mean density of the test item at 20 °C is 1.477 g/cm³. The relative density is calculated by dividing the density of the test item by the density of water at 4 °C (0.9999750 g/cm³).

Test No. Temperature [°C] Amount of test item [g] Average sample volume [cm³] Density [g/cm³]*
1 20 8.21 5.56250 1.47595
2 20 7.73 5.22835 1.47848
Conclusions:
Relative density: 1.48 at 20 °C
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test item was determined with a calibrated gas comparison pycnometer, according to the OECD guideline 109. A pressurized gas (He) is expanded from a pressurized reference chamber into a sample chamber in which the test item is placed under atmospheric pressure. The volume of the sample chamber, as well as the volume of the reference chamber, is exactly known. Thus, the free volume of the sample chamber in which the gas expanded was calculated by the ideal gas law. By measuring the mass of the test item, the density was determined. The relative density was obtained by dividing the measured density of the test-item by the density of water at 4 °C (0.9999750 g/cm³).

The mean density of the test item at 20 °C is 1.477 g/cm³.The relative density is calculated by dividing the density of the test item by the density of water at 4 °C (0.9999750 g/cm³).
