w1: mass of pycnometer empty (g)

w2: mass of pycnometer + water (g)

w3: mass of pycnometer + test item (g)

W1: mass of water to fill pycnometer (g) i.e. w2 – w1

W2: mass of test item to fill pycnometer (g) i.e. w3 – w1

DT4: relative density of the test item at the test temperature (20 ºC) compared to water at 4 ºC i.e. W2 / W1 x 0.998 (i.e. density of water at 20 ºC)

Conclusions:
The relative density of Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2- methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid was found to be 0.99 at 20 ºC.
Executive summary:

OECD 109 (2012) - The relative density of Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2-methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid was determined relative to purified water using a pycnometer at 20 °C. A clean, dry pycnometer was accurately weighed then filled to the limits of its capacity with pure water. It was then carefully stoppered without trapping air, dried and re-weighed. The procedure was repeated with the same pycnometer using test substance. Two tests were performed concurrently using separate pycnometers.

The relative density of Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2-methylpropanoic acid and 3,5,5-trimethyl-hexanoic acid was calculated to be 0.99 at 20 ºC.

Description of key information

Relative density = 0.99 at 20 ºC; OECD 109; Sydney, P. (2012)
