Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Measurement of the test substance

Scale readings, weights and the corresponding densities calculated from these data considering the pycnometer parameters Vp and bv calculated from these data are given in the table below:

A further determination using pycnometer no.1 was cancelled. The water containing a low concentration of n-octanol used as a displacement liquid turned out to be unsuitable due to poor wetting properties.

Description of key information

Relative density = 1.299 at 20 °C (OECD Guideline 109, pycnometer method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.299
