Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Executive summary:

Description of key information
Density of hexylene glycol is reported to be 0.923 g/cm3(923 g/L) at 15°C and 0.9234 (923 g/L) at 20°C/20°C, respectively.
Information regarding density of hexylene glycol was sourced from various handbooks or review articles including ACGIH (2001), CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (81st Ed.), Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials (7thEd.), and Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology (4th Ed.). However, Patty’s Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology and ACGIH cite secondary sources that are not peer-reviewed, and thus, are not considered valid. Instead, density and relative density of hexylene glycol were sourced from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, respectively, which used primary and peer-reviewed sources.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 0.923
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
