Executive summary:

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD guideline 109 and according to the method adapted from ASTMD 854-02. The mean density of the test chemical was determined to be 1.553 g/cm3 at 20° C and 964.5 hPa.

Description of key information

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD guideline 109 and according to the method adapted from ASTMD 854-02. The mean density of the test chemical was determined to be 1.553 g/cm3 at 20° C and 964.5 hPa.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD guideline 109 and according to the method adapted from ASTMD 854-02. The mean density of the test chemical was determined to be 1.553 g/cm3 at 20° C and 964.5 hPa.

Other supporting studies from various reliable sources such as handbook also suggests that, the density of test chemical was observed to be 1.3556 g/cm3 at 25 °C.

As the data from lab has K1 reliability and the test was performed using OECD guideline which has the value of density as 1.553 g/cm3 at 20°C and 964.5 hPa, thus considered as key study for the chemical safety assessment.
