Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The density of MMVF note Q fibres varies between approximately 2.4 to 2.9 g/cm³ depending on the fibre type

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
2.7

Additional information

Two peer-reviewed, acceptable, well-documented publications, which meet basic scientific principles on the density of MMVF note Q fibres is presented. Accordingly, the density of MMVF note Q fibres varies between approximately 2.4 to 2.9 g/cm³ depending on the fibre type.
