Specific details on test material used for the study:

-Commercial name: Amyl Salicylate
-Chemical nature: Mixture of Pentyl 2-hydroxybenzoate and 3-Methylbutyl 2-hydroxybenzoate
-Givaudan Code No: 8810001
- Physical state: Liquid
- Analytical purity: 98.8% (sum of two isomers)
- Lot/batch No.: VE00100713
- Expiration date: September 10, 2011

Type:

relative density

Density:

1.054 other: g/ml

Temp.:

20 °C

The calibration of the instrument was verified at 20.0°C with double-distilled water and cyclohexane just before the determinations. The results were:

 

Water: reference value: 0.998 g/ml                      instrument reading: 0.998 g/ml

Chlorobenzene: reference value: 1.106 g/ml        instrument reading: 1.106 g/ml

 

The results are within the precision of the instrument (± 0.001 g/ml)

 

The results obtained with Amyl Salicylate at 20.0°C were:

 

First sample (average of two determinations): ρ = 1.054 g/ml

 

Second sample (average of two determinations): ρ = 1.054 g/ml

 

Average (rounded off): ρ = 1.054 g/ml

 

The estimated precision is: ± 0.001 g/ml

Conclusions:

The relative density of Amyl Salicylate is 1.054 g/ml at 20°C

Executive summary:

The density of Amyl Salicylate was determined according to the OECD Guideline No. 109 (oscillating densitimeter method). The relative density was determined to be 1.054.
