Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.29 g/cm^3 (or 1290 kg/m^3) at 25.0 ± 0.5°C.
Executive summary:

The density was determined using the gas pycnometer method within EU Method A.3 and OECD TG 109 under GLP. All measurements were performed in triplicate and two determinations were performed to ensure a reproducibility of less than ± 20 kg/m^3 was obtained. The mean density of the test item has been determined to be 1.29 g/cm^3 (or 1290 kg/m^3) at 25.0 ± 0.5°C.

Description of key information

Density: 1.29 g/cm^3 at 25 ± 0.5 °C, EU Method A.3: gas-comparison pycnometer method, 2013

Key value for chemical safety assessment
