Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
3.48

Remarks on result:
other: Weight of test substance: 17.6911 g. Relative density obtained across 5 samples was in the range 3.4779 to 3.4829.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The relative density of basic copper carbonate was between 3.4779 — 3.4829 at 21.4 °C.
Executive summary:

Actual measurement temperature was 21°C and not 20°C, however, it is considered this makes no significant difference to the result as the change in density with temperature for most solids is negligible over a few degrees range. Therefore, any inaccuracy may be expected to be within overall experimental error.
