Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to a method listed in internationally recognised guidelines, but without detailed documentation. The test substance is adequately identified. Therefore validation applies with restrictions.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 109 (Density of Liquids and Solids)
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
oscillating densitimeter
Dynamic viscosity of test material:

Type:
relative density
Density:
0.972 other: relative density is dimensionless
Temp.:
20 °C

DENSITY at 20°C = 0.970 [g/cm3]

RELATIVE DENSITY d20/20 = 0.972

Conclusions:
The substance is less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was determined using the oscillating densitymeter method (listed in OECD 109/EU A3 guideline).

The measurement was performed at 20°C.

The result, converted to relative density d20/20, was found as 0.972.

Description of key information

The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.972

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a method recommended in OECD/EC guideline, is available. Despite restrictions for lack of experimental details, it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
