Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Density:
0.983
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: mean value of two determinations

Relative density of single values were 0.9828/0.9828

Conclusions:
The relative density of the substance at 20 ºC was 0.983 (mean value of two determinations).
Executive summary:

According to the German standard method which corresponds to OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 1– Physical-Chemical Properties No: 109 “Density of Liquids and Solids“ and to Council Regulations EC No 440/2008, Guideline Part A–Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, A.3. “Relative Density” the liquid sample was introduced into an oscillating tube of the densitometer instrument. The change in the oscillating frequency due to the change in mass of the tube was used to determine the density of the substance. The relative density at 20 °C was 0.983 (mean value of two determinations).

Description of key information

Density at 20 °C: 0.983 kg/L 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.983

Additional information

The relative density D204 of solids or liquids is the ratio between the mass of the substance, determined at 20 °C, and the mass of the same volume of water, determined at 4 °C. At this temperature the density of water is 0.999975 g/cm³. To convert the density to relative density the following formula was used: D204 = pSubstance(20 °C) / pWater(4 °C).
