Key result
Type:
relative density
Density:
1.101 other: unitless
Temp.:
20 °C

Determination 1: 1.101 at 20 °C

Determination 2: 1.101 at 20 °C

Determination 3: 1.101 at 20 °C

Conclusions:
The substance is slightly more dense than water.
Executive summary:

The relative density of the test substance was measured under GLP according OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, oscillating densitimeter method.

After suitable calibration using two reference liquids, a sample was measured in triplicate at 20 °C, and the mean relative density was calculated.

The relative density of the test substance has been determined to be 1.101 at 20 ± 0.5 °C.

Description of key information

The substance is slightly more dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.101
