Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Temp.:
20 °C

Density of water at 4 °C = 1.0000 g/mL

Measured density at 20 °C: 0.928 g/mL

Relative density =0.93

Conclusions:
The relative density of the test substance was identified as 0.93.
Executive summary:

Relative density was calculated according to internally validated testing protocol using a test method comparable to the pour and tap test. From that a relative density of 0.93 was identified.

Glycerol Monobehenate (GMB) was melted at 100 °C and five samples containing between 8 and 75 g were weighed into graduated cylinders and left to cool down to room temperature (20 °C). The samples were carefully compacted and levelled before the final volume was noted down. The density of the sample is given as the slope when the mass is plotted as a function of the volume.
