The test item was a solidified melt. Therefore, the test item was broken down into chunks. These chunks were filled into were filled into the test cell and the measurement was performed.

Two test series were performed at 20 °C.

Conclusions:
The relative density at ambient temperature (compared to water at 4 °C) was determined to be 0.88 (20.0 °C).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted according to OECD TG 109 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.3 to determine the relative density of the test item. The density was determined in two test series. Using the air comparison pycnometer method the density was determined to be 0.88 g/cm3 at 20.0 °C and the relative density 0.88 with respect to water at 4 °C, respectively.

Description of key information

The relative density at ambient temperature (compared to water at 4 °C) was determined to be 0.88 (20.0 °C).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.88
