Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item was determined to be 1.4881 at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 109, Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.3, OPPTS 830.7300 and CIPAC Handbook Volume F, MT 3.2 to determine the relative density of the test item. Using Tween 80 as wetting solution the volume of the pycnometer and the density of the weting solution were determined. Using these results, the density of the test item was determined in duplicate. Using the pycnometer method the density was determined to be 1.4881 ± 0.0030 g/cm³ at 20 ± 0.5 °C and the relative density 1.4881 with respect to water at 4 °C, respectively.

Description of key information
