RESULTS

Determination 1

Density (d(20)): 0.9001 ± 0,0002 (g/ml)

Rel. density : D20200.9017 ± 0,0002

Determination 2:

Density (d(20)): 0.9001 ± 0,0002 (g/ml)

Rel. density : D20200.9017± 0,0002

Conclusions:
The test substance is less dense than water.
The mean relative density of the test item was D20/20 = 0,9017 ± 0,0002 at 20 °C.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured according to OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, using oscillating density meter. After calibration, two determinations were performed and the mean value was retained.

The relative density of the test item was measured as D20/20 = 0.9017 ± 0.0002.

The result is consistent with the range reported in the European Pharmacopoeia 8.0 (0.894 -0.907)

Description of key information

The density of the test substance at 20°C was measured as 0.9001 g/cm3, and its relative density D(20/20) was measured as 0.9017 ± 0,0002.

The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.902

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to OECD 109 /EU A3 guideline, using oscillating density meter and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.

The relative density D(20/20) was measured as 0.9017 ± 0,0002.

The result is consistent with the range reported in the European Pharmacopoeia 8.0 (0.894 -0.907)
