Description of key information

The dynamic viscosity of the liquid form of o-cresol is 3.06 mPa s at 50°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Determination of the viscosity at 20°C is technically not feasible. At 20°C o-cresol is crystalline solid and

has a melting point of 31°C. Below that temperature the substance is solid. Determination of the viscosity of solids is not possible according to OECD guideline 114. As the substance is used as a liquid above its melting point, a value at 50°C is presented.
