Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The density of methyl (S)-lactate is 1.092 g/mL at 20 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.092

Additional information

The density of methyl (S)-lactate is described in the scientific literature (Clary et al., 1998) with 1.092 g/mL at 20 °C.The value of 1.0939 g/cm³ from Holten et al. (1971) is considered as supportive information using methyl lactate as a read-across substance. For details and justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
