Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 individual measurements were obtained with an accuracy of < 0.01 g/cm3. According to the guideline, the density of the test substance is given as the mean value.

Conclusions:
A pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of an aqueous solution of the substance, in accordance with OECD 109, EU Method A.3 and GLP. The density of the test material (aqueous solution) at 20ºC was 1.09 g/cm3. The relative density was 1.09

Conclusions:
A gas comparison pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of the substance in accordance with OECD 109 (1995), EU Method A.3 (2008), EPA OPPTS 830.7300 (2002) and according to GLP principles. The density and relative density of the substance at 20ºC was 1.33 g/cm3 and 1.33, respectively. This result is read-across to the registered substance.
In Chapter 13 of the IUCLID dossier, a report is attached in which the category approach is reported according to ECHA Guidance for the implementation of REACH, Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.6 (reporting format for a chemical category).

Description of key information

The density and relative density of an aqueous solution of the substance at 20ºC was determined to be 1.09 g/cm3 and 1.09, respectively.

The density and relative density of a freeze dried aqueous solution of a substance analogue (C12-C14 alkyl derivatives) at 20ºC was 1.33 g/cm3 and 1.33, respectively.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.33

Additional information

A gas comparison pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of a substance analogue (C12-C14 alkyl derivatives). A freeze dried aqueous solution was used in this study.

A pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of an aqueous solution of the substance. Both studies were performed in accordance with OECD 109 (1995) and according to GLP principles.
