Conclusions:
The test material is very slightly denser than water.
Executive summary:

Method: The relative density was determined using the pycnometer method and EU Method A3.

Results: The relative density D20/4 of ST 03 C 99 was determined to be 1.05 at 20 +/- 0.5°C.

Description of key information

Experimental relative density D20/4
The test material is very slightly denser than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.05

Additional information

An experimental study on density measurement of the test material, was conducted under GLP, and considered as fully reliable. Therefore the result is considered as key data.
