*The relative density D20/4 is the ratio between the measured density of the test substance at 20°C and the density of water at 4°C (= 0.99997 g/cm3). The relative density has no dimension.

Check measurement: Density of degassed deionized water at 20°C: 0.99820 g/cm3

Reference value: 0.99820 + 0.00005 (20°C)

Conclusions:
A relative density value of 0.893 at 20°C was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Relative density: 0.893 at 20°C (OECD 109)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.893

Additional information

A measured relative density of 0.893 at 20°C was determined for the substance in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 109 and in compliance with a known quality system (ISO 9001:2008). The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

This is supported by a relative density value of 0.891 at 20°C which was obtained from handbooks which have been subject to peer review in which the original sources are traceable.

In a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, a relative density value of 0.884 at 20°C was reported for the substance.
