Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The mean relative density of the test item at 20 °C is 0.9296.


The relative density at 20 °C compared to the density of water at 4 °C is 0.930.

Conclusions:
The relative density of the test item was determined to be 0.930 at 20 °C compared to water at 4 °C.
Executive summary:

The density was determined using an oscillating densitimeter according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.3 and OECD Test Guideline 109. The test item was mostly solid, partly molten when it was delivered. In order to take a representative sample, the substance was completely molten at 40 °C and the substance remained liquid at ambient temperature. Therefore, the tests were performed with the liquid state of the substance. The sample was filled into the measuring cell of the density meter using a syringe. The test was performed at a temperature of 20 ± 0.01 °C. Three replicate determinations were carried out. The relative density of the test item was determined to be 0.930 at 20 °C compared to water at 4 °C.
