Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
Very low viscosity.
Executive summary:

The HSDB database provides, as secondary source, physico-chemical data on the substance.

Kinematic viscosity, cited from the Kirk-Othmer encyclopedia, is 0.202 mm2/s at 20°C.

Description of key information

(from handbook)

Kinematic viscosity ca 0.202 mm2/s, corresponding to dynamic viscosity ca 0.13 mPa.s, at 20°C.

Very fluid liquid.

Viscosity at 40°C cannot be determined, as the substance is a gas at this temperature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

Two literature sources, considered as reliable, provide consistent values, between 0.20 and 0.30 mm2/s at 20-25°C. The result at 20°C, corresponding to the standard, is retained as key data.
