Conclusions:
The relative density was found to be 1.32, corresponding to a density of 1320 kg/m3 at 21.0 ± 1.0 °C
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was determined using a gas comparison pycnometer method performed according to OECD TG 109 and following GLP principles. The relative density was found to be 1.32, corresponding to a density of 1320 kg/m3 at 21.0 ± 1.0 °C

Description of key information

Relative density: 1.32 (corresponding to a density of 1320 kg/m3 at 21.0 ± 1.0 °C), OECD TG 109 gas comparison pycnometer, O'Connor 2012

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.32
