Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The dynamic viscosity was determined with a rotational viscometer.
The substance can be considered as a Newtonian fluid. The dynamic viscosity of (-)-beta-pinene at a shear rate of 583 s-1 is 2.2 mPa.s at 20°C and 1.4 mPas.s at 40°C.
(-)-beta-pinene is classified for aspiration toxicity Category 1 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) criteria (hydrocarbon with a kinematic viscosity of less than 20.5 mm2/s at 40°C): may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. The substance is classified harmful (R65: may cause lung damage if swallowed) according to Directive 67/548/EEC.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:
2.2 mPa · s (dynamic)
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

Key study conducted according to OECD 114 Guideline.

The result is scientifically acceptable but not obtained under GLP. Therefore a reliability of 2 (reliable with restrictions) is assigned.

A supproting study with a consistent result confirms the key value study.
