Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 = (ms x density IL ) / (m1 – m2)

Where: ms is the mass, in grams, of the sample;

m1 is the mass, in grams, of immersion liquid required to fill the empty pycnometer;

m2 is the mass, in grams of immersion liquid added to fill the pycnometer containing the sample;

densityIL is the density of the immersion liquid

Mean Result : Relative density (D20 4) = 1.009

Sample density = 1009 kg.m-3 @ 20°C

Description of key information

relative density: 1.009 at 20 °C (EU A.3, pycnometer method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment
