The mean density of the test item, using the gas comparison method with the stereopycnometer, was 0.689 ± 0.005 at. 21°C

Conclusions:
The test substance is less dense than water. The mean relative density of the test item, using the gas comparison method with the stereopycnometer, was 0.689 ± 0.005 at 21.0 °C ± 0.3 °C.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured under GLP according to OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, using gas comparison pycnometer method. After calibration, two independent samples were measured in triplicate.

The mean relative density of the test item, using the gas comparison method with the stereopycnometer, was 0.689 ± 0.005 at 21.0 °C ± 0.3 °C.

Description of key information

The density of the test substance  is 0.689 ± 0.005 at 21.0 °C ± 0.3 °C.
The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.689

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to OECD/EU method and under GLP, is available. Therefore it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
