A measurement chamber with a volume of Vc= 7.9970 cm3and an expansion chamber with a volume of Vr= 6.1927 cm3were used.

Two test series with different weights were performed at ambient temperature (20.2 °C). For results seeTable1andTable2.

Relative density (compared to water at 4 °C):

D4R= 1.52       (20.2 °C)

Executive summary:

The relative density of the test item at ambient temperature (compared to water at 4 °C) was determined to be:

D4R= 1.52       (20.2 °C)

Description of key information

The density of the test item was determined according to the European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method, A.3. Density of liquids and solids: Gas comparison pycnometer and according to the OECD test guideline, OECD 109 Density of liquids and solids.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.52
