Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Density
Key result
Type:
relative density
Remarks on result:
not determinable because of methodological limitations
Remarks:
We tried to measure the relative density using heptane or liquid paraffin as an immersion liquid, but the air bubbles in the test item could not be completely removed and the test item swelled in solvents.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The measurement of the relative density should be performed with a solvent that does not dissolve the test item.  As the result of preliminary test, heptane and liquid paraffin were confirmed to be poor solvents for the test item.  We tried to measure the relative density using heptane or liquid paraffin as an immersion liquid, but the air bubbles in the test item could not be completely removed and the test item swelled in solvents.  Therefore, it is concluded that the relative density of test item could not be measured.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It is concluded that the relative density of the registered substance could not be measured under this test condition.
