SSS wizard Density parameter?

Does anyone know what the units are in the density setting for the sss wizard. I cant find anything in the manual or in the forum that speaks to this. For example if I look up density of silicone on google I get all kinds of numbers. How do I know which one to use if there is no units next to the box. Am I missing something. Thanks in advance for any help.

The "Density" parameter of wizard has no specific units and it's relative to others. Previous wizard has offered a fully scientific approach and we've had complaints so, we decided to make something more practical. Here, Density value is controlling the cloudiness.

Ok I see now the density value goes into the coef slot in the actual material. I thought maybe it was a technical number that I could pull off the web or from solidworks to get me there faster without guessing and experimenting too much. Sounds like I will have to experiment which is ok.
