Relative density:                 1.61
Temperature:                       21.0 ± 0.5ºC

Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item has been determined to be 1.61 at 21.0 ± 0.5°C.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995. The relative density of the test item has been determined to be 1.61 at 21.0 ± 0.5°C.

Description of key information

The relative density of the test item has been determined to be 1.61 at 21.0 ± 0.5 °C
