Conclusions:
Using the pycnometer method, a density of 0.9763 ± 0.0003 g/cm3 at 20 ± 0.4 °C was measured.
This value is the mean of two independent determinations ± the standard deviation. Standard deviation shows good correlation of the two determinations.
Executive summary:

The study was performed in order to determine the density of test item according to OECD 109 guideline and EU A3 guideline, using the pycnometer method.

A density of 0.9763 ± 0.0003 g/cm3 at 20 ± 0.4 °C was measured.

This value is the mean of two independent determinations ± the standard deviation. Standard deviation shows good correlation of the two determinations.

Description of key information

A density of 0.9763 ± 0.0003 g/cm3 at 20 ± 0.4 °C was measured.

This value is the mean of two independent determinations ± the standard deviation. Standard deviation shows good correlation of the two determinations.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.976

Additional information

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