Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 density of test material:                1013.8 kg/m³

Density of water at 4.0 °C:                      1000.0 kg/m³

Relative density of test material:           1013.8 / 1000.0 = 1.0138

The density was calculated using the following formula: Density = d x [(c-a) / (b-a)] kg/m³

Where:

a = Mass of pycnometer (g)

b = Mass of pycnometer and distilled water at 20.0 °C (g)

c = Mass of pycnometer and test material at 20.0 °C (g)

d = Density of water at 20.0 °C (kg/m³)

Conclusions:
According to Council Directive 92/69/EEC A.3 and OECD Guideline 109 (1981), the relative density of the test item at 20 °C (compared to water at 4 °C) is D20/4 = 1.0138.

Description of key information

The relative density of the test item at 20 °C (compared to water at 4 °C) is D20/4 = 1.0138.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.014
