Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Campbell et al. (1993): Under the conditions of the study, the relative density of the test material was determined to be 1.2656 g/mL.

Woll (1992): Under the conditions of this study, the relative density (D20/4) of the test material was determined to be 1.288.

Additional information

Two studies are available to address this endpoint and both are considered to be key as the data are equally reliable. The studies were assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria for assessing data quality set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

Campbell et al. (1993)

The relative density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 109 and EU method A.3 under GLP conditions using the pycnometer method.

The density was calculated from the difference in weight between the full and empty pycnometer, its known volume, the weight of test material used, and the calculated volume of displaced fluid. Hexane was used as the displacement fluid as the test material is insoluble in this solvent.

Under the conditions of the study, the relative density of the test material was determined to be 1.2656 g/mL.

Woll (1992)

The relative density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline EU Method A.3 using the pycnometer method.

Kerosene and cyclohexane were used as the displacement liquid. The material is a solid under test conditions.

Under the conditions of this study, the relative density (D20/4) of the test material was determined to be 1.288.
