Description of key information

The relative density of the substance was determined using the pycnometer method, and was found to be 1.005 at 20°C (1005 kg/m^3) in a test according to OECD guideline 109 and EU Method A.3 without deviations (K1, Dekra, 2018).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
