How can I increase specific Gravity of water from 1 to atleast 1.9.?

i have to wash PET in water & Specific gravity of PET is 1.7, so I want to be floting PET while washing. That only can be possible when specific gravity of water will be grater than specefic gravity of water.

Answer:
Add salt to the water.

for ideal mixtures density can be calculated as:

x1d1+x2d2

where x is mole fraction and d is the density so u can prepare a mixture that gives a higher density but it must also inert with pet while u washing it. also i recommend u to measure its density before u use it bcause the equation only holds for ideal mixtures.
