Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Test Guideline 114 (Viscosity of Liquids)
Version / remarks:
adopted on 12 May 1981
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 certified
Type of method:
rotational viscometer (dynamic)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Umicore h80 paste
Temp.:
20°C
Parameter:
dynamic viscosity (in mPa s)
Value:
330 000
Remarks on result:
other: shear rate of 1/s, average of 2 tests
Temp.:
20°C
Parameter:
dynamic viscosity (in mPa s)
Value:
>= 4 700 - <= 3 500 000
Remarks on result:
other: viscosity measured at shear rates between 0.1/s and 100/s
Temp.:
40°C
Parameter:
dynamic viscosity (in mPa s)
Value:
>= 2 300 - <= 840 000
Remarks on result:
other: viscosity measured at shear rates between 0.1/s and 100/s

The sample shows a non-newtonion behaviour. It is a shear thinning material, i.e. an increase in relative velocity causes a reduction in viscosity.
