Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
May 27, 2003 - May 28, 2003
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Test Guideline 114 (Viscosity of Liquids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:

Key result
Temp.:
20°C
Parameter:
kinematic viscosity (in mm²/s)
Value:
ca. 24.5

None

Conclusions:
The kinematic viscosity of the test substance is 24.5 mm2/sec at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The viscosity of the test substance was determined according to OECD guideline 114. The viscosity of the test substance was measured using the capillary viscosimeter at 20°C. The test substance was filled into the capillary viscosimeter and the efflux time was measured by the viscoboy equipment. This was repeated five times. For calculation of the kinematic viscosity, average value of the efflux time was taken. The kinematic viscosity of the test substance is 24.5 mm2/sec at 20°C.

Endpoint:
viscosity
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
data waiving: supporting information

Description of key information

Viscosity testing is not required for the powder form of the test substance. The viscosity of the liquid form of the test substance was determined according to OECD Guideline 114 using a capillary viscosimeter at 20°C (Keipert, 2003).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

The kinematic viscosity of the liquid form of the test substance was 24.5 mm2/sec at 20°C.
