Results
Measurement chamber with a volume of Vc= 7.8961 cm3 and an expansion chamber with a volume of Vr= 6.0848 cm3 were used. Two test series with different weights were done at a temperature of 20 °C. Results are show in Tables 1 and 2.

Mean density ρPR for the two test series is 2.20 g/cm3. Relative density (compared to water at 4 °C) is:

D4R= 2.20 ± 0.01

Description of key information

Relative density: 2.20 at 20 °C (OECD 109, air comparison pycnometer).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
2.2
