Conclusions:
Relative density: 1.34 at 20 °C
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test item was determined in accordance with OPPTS 830.7300 and OECD guideline 109.

The empty pycnometer, pycnometer with water, pycnometer with wetting solution, pycnometer with 2/3 of test item and pycnometer with 2/3 of test item and wetting solution were weighed and the weights were recorded to find out the water equivalent and the volume of the pycnometer. The density of the wetting solution, volume of wetting solution and density of the test item were calculated from the water equivalent and the volume of the pycnometer. The test was performed at 20 °C, under thermostatic conditions.

The density values resulted to be 1.3384 g/ml and 1.3453 g/ml for replicates R1 and R2, respectively; the calculated mean density value of the replicates was found to be 1.3419 ± 0.005 g/ml with 0.37 % of RSD.

The relative density resulted to be 1.34.

Conclusion

Relative density: 1.34 at 20 °C
