Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the pour density of the test material was determined to be 500 kg/m³ and the tapped density was determined to be 684.9 kg/m³.
Executive summary:

The pour and tapped density of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 109.

A known weight of test material was placed in a glass graduated measuring cylinder and its volume measured to determine the ‘pour density’. The cylinder was then raised and allowed to fall vertically through a distance of 25 mm on a rubber pad 50 times. The volume was measured again to determine tap density.

Under the conditions of this study the pour density of the test material was determined to be 500 kg/m³ and the tapped density was determined to be 684.9 kg/m³.

Description of key information

Under the conditions of this study the pour density of the test material was determined to be 500 kg/m³ and the tapped density was determined to be 684.9 kg/m³.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The pour and tapped density of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 109. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
