Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results

 Determination  Temperature (degrees C)  Time (s)  Viscosity (mm2/s)  Mean viscosity
 A  20.0 +- 0.5  535  5.91  5.91
 B  20.0 +- 0.5  535  5.91  
 C  40.0 +- 0.5  284  3.14  3.14
 D  40.0 +- 0.5  285  3.14  
Executive summary:

The viscosity of the test item has been determined to be 5.91  and 3.14  mm2/s at 20 and 40 degrees centegrade respectively

Description of key information

The viscosity of the test item has been determined using a capillary viscometer method, designed to be compatible with Method 114 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 02 October 2012.

The results were 5.91  and 3.14  mm2/s at 20 and 40 degrees centegrade respectively.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:
5.91 mm²/s (static)
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

At 40 degrees centegrade the measured viscosity was 3.14 mm2/s.

The trigger for consideration of a substances aspiration hazard is viscosity <= 20.5 mm2/s) ... is Aspiration Hazard discussed else where?
