Results:

Table 1 shows the determined volume of the pycnometer. The results of the tests on the determination of the density of the test item are given in Table 2.

The individual measurements were obtained with a deviation of ≤ 0.01 g/cm3. According to the guideline, the density of the test item is given as the mean value.

Conclusion:

A pycnometer with a volume of 10 mL was used for the determination of the density and relative density.

The density of the test item at 20°C is 0.940 g/cm3 (0.940 x 103 kg/m3).

The relative density is 0.940.

Conclusions:
A relative density value of 0.94 at 20±0.5°C was determined for the substance using a relevant test method and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Relative density: 0.94 at 20±0.5°C (OECD 109)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.94

Additional information

A relative density value of 0.94 at 20±0.5°C was determined for the substance using a pycnometer in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 109 and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.
