Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean reference cell volume: 90.925 cm3

Mean sample cell volume: 149.108 cm3

As the reference cell volume and sample cell volume were within the defined tolerance (90.953 ± 1.0 cm3 and 149.225 ± 1.0 cm3 for the reference and sample cell volumes respectively) the gas comparison pycnometer was therefore considered acceptable for use.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.50 x 10E3 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C and a relative density of 1.50.
Executive summary:

Density determination was carried out by the gas comparison pycnometer method, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A.3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 02 October 2012.

The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.50 x 103 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C and a  relative density of 1.50.
