Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Justification for type of information:
Performed using density meter at 38 C. Although this is a higher temperature than is required according to guidelines, the difference in density between 20 and 38 C will not impact on the risk assessment.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Version / remarks:
Performed using density meter at 38 C
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
oscillating densitimeter
Specific details on test material used for the study:
A representative sample (#BP16120710) was stripped of as much water as possible to make batch referred to as PAH/225/134/5 to use for testing.
An FTIR was ran on sample #BP16120710 and PAH/225/134/5 to ensure that no degradation occurred during the removal of the solvent.
Type:
relative density
Density:
ca. 1.19 g/cm³
Temp.:
38 °C
Type:
relative density
Density:
> 1.2 g/cm³
Temp.:
20 °C

Testing was performed at 38 C; the reason is understood to be that viscosity was too high at lower temperatures .

Therefore, it is concluded that the density at 20C will be > 1.19

The result is academic since the substance will not normally be removed from water

Conclusions:
Testing was performed at 38 C; the reason is understood to be that viscosity was too high at lower temperatures .
Therefore, it is concluded that the density at 20C will be > 1.19
The result is academic since the substance will not normally be removed from water
