Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Under study conditions, the relative density of the test substance was determined to be 0.981.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the relative density of the test substance, C18 ADBAC (active: 89.5%), using hydrostatic balance method, according to the OECD Guideline 109, in compliance with GLP. Under study conditions, the relative density of the test substance was determined to be 0.981 at 20.38˚C (Scymaris, 2017).

Description of key information

The relative density of the test substance was determined using the air comparison pycnometer method, according to OECD Guideline 109 and EU Method A.3 (Kremer, 2018) and the hydrostatic balance method, according to OECD Guideline109 (Scymaris, 2017).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.981

Additional information

Two studies were available with the test substance:

- Study 1: 1.0156 at 20 ± 0.1˚C (Kremer, 2018).

Study 2: 0.981 at 20.38˚C (Scymaris, 2017).

As a conservative approach, the slightly lower density value has been considered further for hazard assessment. This is because for low soluble substances, the relative density parameter is used to assess if the substance will float or sink in water.
