## 1 PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to determine the relative density of the test item at a specific temperature by means of a gas comparison pycnometer.



## 2 MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1 TEST ITEM Data of test item as supplied by the sponsor. Identity: Product Name: Batch: Purity: Appearance: Expiration date: Storage: TKA 40278 CGI 827 KL 01/02 See Analytical Certificate, Study No. 14026512-1 Ciba Specialty Chemicals Inc. Solid, slightly yellow August 30, 2004 At room temperature at about 20 °C. The test item is light sensitive. 

### 2,2 PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST A sample cell of known volume will be partly filled with an accurately weighed amount of the dried test item. An inert gas will be allowed to penetrate into the interstices of the test item particles at ambient pressure, A reference cell of known volume will be pressurized with the inert gas and the pressure will be recorded. The two cells will then be connected and after equilibration the pressure will be recorded again. The powder volume will be calculated from the two pressure readings, assuming that the inert gas exhibits ideal gas behaviour. The density of the test item will then be calculated from the mass and the volume of the test item.

### 2.3 PERFORMANCE OF THE TEST 2.3.1 Test System Test system: Weighings: Calibration ball: Gas: Conditions: Gas comparison pycnometer (Multi-Pycnometer,

Syosset, N.Y., USA). Analytical balance with an accuracy of 1 rag. Mettler Toledo PM 100 Chrome plated ball with a calibrated known volume (Vca~ = 56.559 cm3). Helium 46 All manipulations were performed at 19.7 °C ± 0.3 °C. Quantachrome,



### 2.3.2 Test Item Treatment The test item was dried in a desiccator over silica gel for 260 hours before use. 

### 2.3.3 General Test Procedure A reference cell of a defined volume (Vref) is pressurised with helium to a pressure of not more than 20 psi (1.406 kg/cm3) and the pressure is read. Subsequently, the volume of the sample cell (being filled with helium at ambient pressure) is added to the pressure system, resulting in a lower pressure, which is read, too. During the performance of the test, the temperature is kept constant and measured. 

### 2.3.4 Calibration Procedure The volume calibration of the reference cell and the sample cell was based on a chrome plated calibration ball (Vca I) with a calibrated volume. The test procedure as outlined above was performed with an empty sample cell, resulting in pressure readings Pl and P2, for the upper and lower pressure readings, respectively. The same procedure was performed with the sample cell containing the calibrated ball (pressure readings P3 and P4 for the upper and lower pressure values, respectively). From these four pressure readings, the volume of the reference cell and the volume of the sample cell was calculated as outlined under item 2.4. Both procedures were performed in triplicate. 2.3.5 Test Item Measurements The sample celt was weighed, filled with the test item and placed in the Multi-Pycnometer. Then, the test was performed as outlined above, resulting in pressure readings PKsarnp[e) and P2(sarnple) for the upper and the lower pressure reading, respectively. From these pressure readings, the volume of the test item was calculated as outlined under item 2.4. The procedure was repeated until reproducible results were obtained (repeatability of < ± 0.02 g/cm3). The sample cell containing the test item was reweighed to determine the mass of the tested material.

### 2.4 DATA HANDLING 2,4.1 Definitions The density (p) of a substance is the quotient of the mass (m) and the volume (V) of that substance at a specific temperature.
SI unit is in [kg/m3]. 1 [g/cm3] corresponds with 1000 [kg/m3] The relative density D~ ° of solids or liquids is the ratio between the mass of a volume of substance to be examined, determined at 20 °C and the mass of the same volume of water, determined at 4 °C. The density of water at 4 °C is 1.0000 g/cm3. The relative density has no dimension. 2.4.2 Calculations Vc~l (1) Reference cell volume (cm=): Vr~, = Ip~ p~)

## 3 RESULTS The determination of the relative density of the test item was performed in accordance with the EEC Directive 92/69, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.3 "Relative density" and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 109, "Density of Liquids and Solids" using a gas comparison pycnometer. The test was performed at a temperature of 19.7 °C :1:0.3 °C. The calibration procedure was performed in triplicate. The individual measurements and the results are shown in Table 1. The determination of the relative density of the test item was performed with two independent test item samples each at least measured in triplicate. The individual measurements are summarised in Table 2. The tabulated values in Tables 1 and 2 represent rounded results, which were obtained by calculation using the exact raw data. The density of the test item TKA 40278 (CGI 827) was determined to be 1.195 g/cm~ (= 1.195  ̄ 10~ kg/m ~) at 19.7 °C + 0.3 °C using a gas comparison pycnometer, In conclusion, the relative density of TKA 40278 (CGI 827) was determined to be
1.195.
