Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Relative density [furan]: 0.937 at 19.4°C, 0.951 at 20°C (Handbook)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 0.95
Additional information
Two reliable relative density values are available for the substance. Relative density values of 0.937 at 19.4°C (Stecher 1968)
and 0.951 at 20°C (Haynes 2010) were reported in handbooks or collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer review and in which the original sources are traceable. The results are considered reliable and used as weight of evidence. In a secondary source to which no reliability could be assigned, relative density density of 0.94 (Pennakem 2011) was reported for the substance.
