Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The HSDB database provides, as secondary source, physico-chemical data on the substance.

The relative density (D20/4), cited from CRC handbook, is 0.6405.

Description of key information

(from handbook)

The substance is much less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.64

Additional information

Three literature sources provide consistent values, between 0.64 and 0.6405 g/cm3. The average result of the two references considered as reliable (CRC and HSDB give both 0.6405 g/cm) is retained as key data.
