Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The test material is very slightly denser than water.
Executive summary:

Method: The relative density was determined using the pycnometer method and EU Method A3.

Results: The relative density D20/4 of ST 03 C 99 was determined to be 1.05 at 20 +/- 0.5°C.

Description of key information

Experimental relative density D20/4
The test material is very slightly denser than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.05

Additional information

An experimental study on density measurement of the test material, was conducted under GLP, and considered as fully reliable. Therefore the result is considered as key data.
