Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:
Other density types indicated (migrated information): density
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
12/2007 to 03/2008

2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study without detailed documentation
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an internationally recognised method. The substance is adequately defined (with certificate of analysis). However, some experimental data are missing. Therefore validation applies with restrictions.

No data on individual measurements (at least two repetitions required).

Conclusions:
The substance is less dense than water.
Executive summary:

According to ISO 758 guideline (listed in OECD/EC), a relative density of 0.9518 was measured for the substance.

Description of key information

The substance is less dense than water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
0.952

Additional information

A reliable study, conducted according to the OECD guideline, is available. Therefore, it is considered as a key study, and the result is retained for purpose of CSA.
