Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
viscosity
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
The available identification data for the Target and the Source substance support the read-across hypothesis. Adequate, reliable and available scientific information indicate that the Target and Source substance have, or are very likely to have, similar (eco)toxicological properties. There are no indications that constituents other than those identified for the substances or impurities may influence the validity of the read-across. There is no evidence that additional toxicological mechanisms, other than those identified in the read-across hypothesis, may be acting or have an adverse effect on the validity of the read-across.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Temp.:
other: 1400.0°C
Parameter:
other: cPoise
Value:
ca. 150 - 1 500
Remarks on result:
other: At 1100 to 1400 °C test temperature
Conclusions:
Typical slags tested at 1100 to 1400 °C had a viscosity of 150 - 1500 cP, depending on the exact temperature and composition of the slags
Executive summary:

At a temperature of 1100 -1400 °C liquid slags have a viscosity of 150 - 1500 cPoise

Information reported in Pa s

Conclusions:
ABS at 1600 °C: 250 mPa s (dynamic)
Executive summary:

The viscosity of slag is influenced by several variables e.g. chemical composition and temperature.

Description of key information

Under standard conditions, slags are solid.
At temperatures of > 1000 °C viscosity may decrease
ABS at 1600 °C: 250 mPa s (dynamic)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Ferrous slags resemble natural stones and are solid at ambient temperatures. Data for molten ferrous slags are not relevant at ambient temperatures.

Typical slags tested at 1100 to 1400 °C had a viscosity of 150 - 1500 cP (Krajewski and Krueger 1984).
