Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Temperature: 21.2 ± 0.5 ºC

Mean density: 1480 kg/m3

*The density value for Determination 2 Test B was considered to be out-of-agreement with the other five results, and was therefore not used in the subsequent calculations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1480 kg/m3 at 21.2 ± 0.5 °C.
Executive summary:

1480 kg/m3 at 21.2 ± 0.5 °C, using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
