Conclusions:
Using the pycnometer method, the density was 0.9490 ± 0.0009 g/cm3 at 20.0 ± 0.4 °C.
The test substance is less dense than water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was measured according to OECD 109 / EU A3 guideline, using pycnometer method.

Two determinations were performed and the mean value was retained.

The relative density of the test item was measured as D20/4= 0.9490 ± 0.0009

Description of key information

Density = 0.9490 ± 0.0009 g/cm3 at 20.0 ± 0.4 °C.

The test substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.949

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to OECD 109 /EU A3 guideline, using pycnometer method and under GLP, is available. It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
