Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
Experimental dates: 11 January 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognized method, and under GLP. No deviation was reported. The test substance is adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Version / remarks:
2012

Conclusions:
The substance is much more dense than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, gas comparison pycnometer method.

Two independent samples were measured ten times, and the mean density at 20.1°C was calculated to be 1.32 g/cm3. This results was then converted to relative density towards water at 4°C.

The density of the test substance at 20°C is 1.32 g/cm3, and its relative density D(20/4) is 1.32.

Description of key information

The substance is much more dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.32

Additional information

A fully reliable study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EU method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
