Executive summary:

The HSDB database provides, as secondary source, physico-chemical data on the substance.

The relative density (D20/4), cited from CRC handbook, is 0.6405.

Description of key information

(from handbook)

The substance is much less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.64

Additional information

Three literature sources provide consistent values, between 0.64 and 0.6405 g/cm3. The average result of the two references considered as reliable (CRC and HSDB give both 0.6405 g/cm) is retained as key data.
