density of water at test temperature: 0.9982 g*cm-3at 20.0oC (CRC Handbook, 2009)

density of water at 4°C: 0.999975 g*cm-3 (CRC Handbook, 2009)

Conclusions:
The test substance is much less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, pycnometer method.

Experiment was performed at 20 °C in duplicate, and the mean density was calculated. Relative density was converted vs water at 4°C.

The density of the test substance was determined as 0.8950 g/cm3 at 20.0°C, and d20/4 is 0.895.

Description of key information

The substance is much less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.895

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.
