Description of key information
The density or relative density at 20 °C for benzyl benzoate is stated to be between 1.12 - 1.21. Publications by Naves et al (1961) as well as Hon et al. (1976) use water t 4 °C as a reference material, however, do not state the exact method how the density was measured. Lide (2007) does only supply a value of 1.112 at 25 °C. When taking these aspects into account, a value of 1.1 at 20 °C seems reasonable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Relative density at 20C:
- 1.1
