Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The dynamic viscosity of DL-Menthol is 17 mPa*s at 40°C.
Executive summary:

The determination of the dynamic viscosity is based on the following guidelines: DIN 53019, this industry norm corresponds to OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 1 – Physical-Chemical Properties No. 114 "Viscosity of Liquids" (adopted May 1981).

The dynamic viscosity of DL-Menthol is 17 mPa*s at 40°C.
