Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 registration substance Hydrocarbons, C11-C14, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics, EC number 701-280-3 (target) and the test substance Hydrocarbons, C10-C14, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics, (source) are both hydrocarbons with many constituents in common.
The source substance covers the carbon number range of the target substance. The substances therefore have qualitatively similar properties (RAAF Scenario 2 applies).
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Temp.:
20°C
Parameter:
kinematic viscosity (in mm²/s)
Value:
>= 1.8 - <= 2.2

Description of key information

The viscosity at 20°C is 1.8 to 2.1 mm²/s according to the ASTM D 445 test method, based on read-across data.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No data are available on the viscosity of Hydrocarbons, C11-C14, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatic, however data are available for a substance in the same carbon range, Hydrocarbons C11-C14, n-alkanes, isoalkanes <2% aromatics.

The viscosity at 20°C is 1.8 to 2.1 mm²/s according to the ASTM D 445 test method.
