Description of key information

The relative density of the substance was determined using the pycnometer method, and was found to be 0.882 at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C in a test according to OECD guideline 109 and EU Method A.3 without deviations (K1, Covance, 2019).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.882
