Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean reference cell volume: 90.795 cm3

Mean sample cell volum: 148.940 cm3

As the reference cell volume and sample cell volume were within the defined tolerance (90.953 ± 1.0 cm3and 149.225 ± 1.0 cm3for the reference and sample cell volumes respectively) the gas comparison pycnometer was therefore considered acceptable for use.

Conclusions:
The density of the test item has been determined to be 1.69E+03 kg/m3 at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C; relative density: 1.69.
Executive summary:

Density. 1.69 x 103kg/m3at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C, relative density: 1.69, using a gas comparison pycnometer, designed to be compatible with Method A3 Relative Density of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 109 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 02 October 2012.

Description of key information

The densitiy of the test item was found to be 1.69 x 103kg/m3at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C and therefore the relative density: 1.69, using a gas comparison pycnometer.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.69

Additional information

Density: 1.69 x 103kg/m3at 20.0 ± 1.0 °C and the relative density: 1.69.
