Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A relative density value of 0.97 g/cm3 at 20°C was reported for the substance in a handbook which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Relative density: 0.97 at 20°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.97

Additional information

A relative density value of 0.97 at 20°C was reported for the substance in a handbook which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study. This data is supported by a predicted density value of 0.95 g/cm3 at 20°C using a validated QSAR estimation method.

In available secondary sources, relative density values of 0.98 at 20°C and 0.97-0.98 at 25°C were reported for the substance. All available data are in agreement that the substance is slightly less dense than water.
