Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
- 0.841
- Temp.:
- 20.5 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: relative density against water at 4 °C
- Conclusions:
- The relative density d20.5/4 of l-limonene is 0.8407 at 20.5 °C.
- Executive summary:
The relative density of l-limonene was reported in The Merck Index 2006 as 0.8407 at 20.5 °C against water at 4 °C.
The reliability of this result has been considered as 2 (reliable with restrictions) because ‘The Merck Index’ is cited as a reference book containing peer reviewed data in the REACH Guidance Document R.7a.

Description of key information
Weight of evidence: Relative density of l-limonene at 20 °C : 0.84
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 0.84
Additional information
In a weight of evidence approach relative density of l-limonene is estimated to be 0.84 consistent with all values reported for the two enantiomers (d- and l-limonene) being in the same order of magnitude.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
