Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1 120 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 0.5°C (relative density value 1.12).
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using a pycnometer procedure, according to Method A3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008,Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing Chemicals, 27 July 1995 and according to GLP. No deviation from the guideline was observed during the test


Pycnometers with known volumes are used. The density is calculated from the difference in weight between the full and empty pycnometer and its known volume.


The density of the test item has been determined to be 1 120 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 0.5°C (relative density value 1.12).

Description of key information

Experimental value of density of the test item at 20.0 ± 0.5°C: 1120 kg/m3 (relative density value 1.12).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.12
