Results
Check of the Densitometer
The apparatus was checked with ultra-pure water. The check of the apparatus showed that the instrument worked correctly and was fit for purpose.

Sample Measurement
The density of the test item was determined twice with independently prepared samples. The data, the mean of the densities, and its relative deviation are presented in Table 1.

Using the nominal density of water at 4 °C (0.999972 g/cm3) the relative density (D420) of the test item was determined to be D420 = 0.7581 at 20°C.

Conclusions:
Using the nominal density of water at 4°C (0.999972 g/cm3) the relative density (D420) of the test item was determined to be = 0.7581 at 20°C.
Executive summary:

Using the nominal density of water at 4°C (0.999972 g/cm3) the relative density (D420) of the test item was determined to be D420= 0.7581 at 20°C.

Description of key information

The relative density of the substance is 0.7581 at 20°C (Oscillating densitometer, OECD 109)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
