(triple determination)

temperature in °C: 20 / 20 / 20

Weight of solid in air in g: 4.6579 / 3.3026 / 2.5822

Weight of solid in liquid in g: 4.2057 / 2.9801 / 2.3373

relative density: 0.910 / 0.910 / 0.912

Conclusions:
A relative density value of 0.911 at 20°C was determined for the substance using a relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.
Executive summary:

Icosan-1 -ol was determined according DIN EN ISO 1183 -1. The relative density was determined to be 0.911 at 20 °C.

Description of key information

The relative density of icosan-1-ol is 0.911 at 20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.911

Additional information

A relative density of 0.911 at at 20°C was determined for the substance using a buoyancy method in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1183-1. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.

It is supported by a value of 0.84 at 20°C taken from a reliable handbook, and various consistent results from other reference sources.

Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:

The relative density values are similar across the category. Values are consistently within the range 0.80 - 0.90 at ambient temperature.
