Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The relative density D420 = 0.8883 g/cm3/ 0.99997 g/cm3= 0.8883


(density of water at 4 °C is 0.999972 g/cm3)

Conclusions:
A relative density of 0.89 at 20°C was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP.

Description of key information

0.89 at 20.2 °C (OECD 109, pycnometer method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.89

Additional information

The key study is supported by a measured relative density value of 0.88 ( at 20 °C) determined by oscillating densitometer method according to OECD Guideline 109. A measured value of 0.89 g/cm3 (at 25 °C) was obtained from a secondary source (company data).
