Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A density of 1.3 g/cm³ was reported.
Executive summary:

A density of 1.3 g/cm³ was reported in Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials (1992).

Description of key information

The density is in the range of 1.27 and 1.38 g/cm³ at ambient temperature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.3

Additional information

A literature search was conducted and the available published data reviewed. In a weight of evidence approach the literature values were evaluated. Three independent literature sources were found. The density was determined to be 1.27 g/cm³ (CRC Handbook, 2008), 1.3 g/cm³ ( Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 1992) and 1.38 g/cm³ (Hommel Handbook, 2009) at 20 °C. All 3 independent values are in the same range and therefore regarded as reliable. A density of 1.3 g/cm³ was chosen as key value.
