Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
The substance mainly consists of phenol and bisphenol-A. It does not have a well-defined density. The test is therefore technically not feasible. The densities of phenol and bisphenol-A are provided instead.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Key result
Type:
relative density
Density:
1.17 g/cm³
Temp.:
25 °C
Conclusions:
The substance mainly consists of phenol and bisphenol-A. It does not have a well-defined density. The test is therefore technically not feasible. The densities of phenol and bisphenol-A are provided instead. The substance is inhomogenous at ambient temperature. At about 90°C the substance becomes homogenous, but density cannot be measured at this temperature.
The density of phenol is 1.13 g/cm³ at 25°C.
The density of Bisphenol A is 1.2 g/cm³ at 25°C.
Assuming a concentration dependent density function (40% phenol and 60% BPA), the density of this substance can be estimated as 1.17 g/cm³ at 25°C.

Description of key information

The substance is inhomogenous and semi-solid at room temperature. It does not have a well defined density at 25°C. Measurement of density at 90°C is technically not feasible.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.17

Additional information

The substance mainly consists of phenol and bisphenol-A. It does not have a well-defined density. The test is therefore technically not feasible. The densities of phenol and bisphenol-A are provided instead. The substance is inhomogenous at ambient temperature. At about 90°C the substance becomes homogenous, but density cannot be measured at this temperature.

The density of phenol is 1.13 g/cm³ at 25°C.

The density of Bisphenol A is 1.2 g/cm³ at 25°C.

Assuming a concentration dependent density function (40% phenol and 60% BPA), the density of this substance can be estimated as 1.17 g/cm³ at 25°C.
