Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean reference cell volume : 90.907 cm3

Mean sample cell volume : 149.077 cm3

As the reference cell volume and sample cell volume were within the defined tolerance (90.953 ± 1.0 cm3 and 149.225 ± 1.0 cm3 for the reference and sample cell volumes respectively) the gas comparison pycnometer was therefore considered acceptable for use.

Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.02 at 19.8 ± 0.5 °C (absolute density: 1.02E+03 kg/m3).
Executive summary:

The determination of density was carried out using a gas comparison pycnometer and a procedure designed to be compatible with OECD TG 109 and in compliance with GLP. The density measured at 19.8 ± 0.5 °C was 1.02 (absolute density: 1.02E+03 kg/m3).

Description of key information

Relative density: 1.02 at 19.8 ± 0.5 °C, equivalent to OECD 109, pycnometer method, Butler 2018

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.02
