Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Mean (SD)

1.0059 (0.00006)

Individual results are within the accuracy of ± 0.001, therefore the average result is retained.

Conclusions:
The substance is as dense as water.
Executive summary:

The density of the test substance was determined according to OECD 109 guideline, using the oscillating densitimeter method.

Three replicates were performed; results were consistent, so the average value was retained.

The relative density D20/20 is 1.006.

Description of key information

The substance is as dense as water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.006

Additional information

A fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC method, is available.

It is considered as a key study, and the result is retained as key data.
