20 °C

Additional information

Several reliable literature sources report the viscosity of 2-methylbutan-2-ol as results from experimental studies to be between 3,52 and 3,79 mPa s at 25°C.

REAXYS (Dikio; Bahadur; Ebenso, Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2016) reports the viscosity to be 4.4098 mPa*s at 20 °C and 1.9688 mPa*s at 40 °C.

The recent value which originates from REAXYS, 2016 which is a peer reviewed data base was chosen to be the most reliable for 2-methylbutan-2-ol.
