Temp.:
20 °C

Two individual measurements were made, both yielding relative densities of 1.0878.

Conclusions:
The test substance has a density of 1.0878 at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test substance methyl benzoate was determined in accordance with OECD TG 109. The relative density of the test substance in comparison with that of water at the temperature of 4 °C was measured twice with a calibrated oscillating transducer (digital densimeter, Anton Paar DMA 48) at the temperature of 20 °C and was found to be 1.0878.

Description of key information

1.0878 at 20 °C, typical range from 1.081 to 1.091

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.088

Additional information

The relative density of the test substance was determined to be 1.0878 at 20 °C in accordance with OECD TG 109. The typical range of the relative density is from 1.081 to 1.091. The experimental result is supported by handbook data reporting a relative density in the range of 1.0837 to 1.094 and by two publications reporting relative densities in the range of 1.0256 to 1.09323.
