Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Study period:
6-10 August 2010
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method, and under GLP. The substance is adequately identified, but details on composition are missing. Therefore validation applies with restrictions.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.3 (Relative Density)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Not applicable
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
effective 24 July 2009 (validity 18 months)
Type of method:
pycnometer method
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Storage conditions of test material: Stored at room temperature protected from direct sun light.

Relative density D20/4 = 0.849 ± 0.000

Density = 0.848 g/mL

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

The density of the test substance was measured under GLP according EU A3 guideline, pycnometer method.

 

Experiment was performed at 20 °C in duplicate, and compared to water at 4.4°C.

 

The relative density (D20/4) of the test substance was calculated to be 0.849.

Description of key information

The substance is much less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.849

Additional information

A reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EC method and under GLP, is available.

Despite minor restrictions due to incomplete test item identification, it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
