What is the typical density of oven cleaner?
« on: March 28, 2010, 07:50:31 AM »
Hello.

Can anyone help me out? I need to find out the approximate density of oven cleaner but I can't find any MSDS sheets for the oven cleaners that I'm using, so a typical density will suffice. I'm talking about the really foamy aerosol oven cleaner by the way, like Mr. Muscle

That is probably going to be hard to find in the product information since the density decreases as the foam expands and is probably quite variable. You could always take a couple of measurements and calculate an average yourself... d = m/V... hint hint...

Unfortunately I don't have the resources to calculate mass. I'm just wondering, would the density of expanded foam just be slightly less than water, or would it be like half the density of water?
