The crystal density of dicyandiamide is 1.404 g/cm³.
Description of key information
There are two data sources available. The information is taken from a handbook (Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry)
as well as a collection of data (American Cyanamid Company).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 1.44
Additional information
There are two data sources available. The information is taken from a handbook (Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry) as well as a collection of data (American Cyanamid Company). The first data source is a peer-reviewed handbook. The values of both sources are very similar: The crystal density of Dicyandiamide is 1.404 g/cm³ and the density is 1.44 g/cm³ respectively.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
