Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Duplicate determinations are within accuracy; therefore the average value is retained.

Relative density D20/4 = 1.08 / 1.00 = 1.08

Conclusions:
The substance is hardly denser than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured under GLP according to OECD 109 / EU A3 guidelines, using oscillating densitometer method.

The determination was carried out in duplicate, and the average result was converted to relative density compared to water at 4°C.

The mean density was measured at 1.08 g/cm3, at 20°C, and the relative density D20/4 is 1.08.

Description of key information

The substance is hardly denser than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.08

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
