Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The calibration procedure was performed in triplicate. The individual measurements and the results are presented in Table 1.

The determination of the relative density of the test item was performed with two independent test item samples each measured in triplicate. The individual measurements are summarized in Table 2.

The tabulated values in Table 1 and Table 2 represent rounded results, which were obtained by calculation using the exact raw data.

The density of the test item was determined to be 1.655 g/cm³ (= 1.655·10³ kg/m³) at 20.5 °C using a gas comparison pycnometer.

Calculation of the relative density

 

D420 = 1.655 g/cm3/ 0.99997 g/cm3= 1.655

Conclusions:
The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions.



Description of key information

1.655 g/cm³, 20.5 °C, OECD 109, gas comparison pycnometer, Weissenfeld, 2010

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.655

Additional information

The study was not performed under GLP, however it has been conducted in compliance with OECD and EU Guidelines.

The result is considered to be reliable and adequate for classification, labeling and risk assessment purposes.
