The mean density is 1.39 g/cm3.

Conclusion: The relative density at ambient temperature was determined to be: D4R= 1.39

Executive summary:

The relative density was determined with a Micrometrics MultiVolume Pycnometer according to OECD guideline 109. The relative density compared to water at 4°C is 1.39 g/cm3.

Description of key information

Relative density: D4R= 1.39 at 20.5 °C (OECD 109, gas comparison pycnometer)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.39
