Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
density, other
Remarks:
density
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The result was obtained using an appropriate QSAR method (see attached QMRF and QPRF for details).
Density may be predicted by various available software methods, such as SPARC, or may be approximately calculated from molar volume using the method of Abraham and McGowan (1987) (ECHA 2008). However, the SPARC and Abraham and McGowan methods are not parameterised for Silicon, and therefore cannot reliably be used in this case. The Abraham and McGowan method was checked to see if a silicon correction factor could be derived, but this was not found to be feasible.

Density:
0.92 g/cm³
Temp.:
25 °C
Conclusions:
A density value of 0.92 g/cm³ at 25°C was obtained for the substance using an appropriate calculation method. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Density: 0.92 g/cm³ at 25°C (QSAR)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A predicted density value of 0.92 g/cm3 at 25°C was obtained using an appropriate calculation method. The result is considered to be reliable. This is supported by measured values of approximately 0.9 – 0.92 (at 20 – 25°C) from secondary sources (company data). The supporting results are in good agreement with the key study.
