Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the observed bulk density of the test material was 0.43 ± 0.02 g/mL at 23 °C.
Executive summary:

The bulk density of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 109, under GLP conditions, using the pycnometer method. 

A clean 10-mL volumetric cylinder was weighed (2 decimal places). The test material (approx. 5 mL) was placed in the cylinder and ‘settled’ by dropping the cylinder on the bench from a height of approx. 2 cm, 10 times. The test material volume was recorded. The cylinder was weighed and the weight of the test material was determined. 

Under the conditions of this study the observed bulk density of the test material was 0.43 ± 0.02 g/mL at 23 °C.
