Conclusions:
Under the study conditions the measured viscosity of the test substance was 2.64 mm²/s at 20°C and 6.45 mm²/s at 40°C (capillary viscometer).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the viscosity of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 114. The determination was performed in duplicate at test temperatures of 20.0 ± 0.5°C and 40.0 ± 0.5°C by capillary viscometer. Under the study conditions the measured visosity was 2.64 mm²/s at 20°C and 6.45 mm²/s at 40°C (White, 2007).
