Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

stress-controlled rotational rheometer (Paar-Physica UDS 200) fitted with a concentric cylinder system
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The viscosity of the liquids is measured using a stress-controlled rotational rheometer (Paar-Physica UDS 200) fitted with a concentric cylinder system.

Type of method:
other: "Flowcurv" method
Remarks:
rotational rheometer
Standard covering the apparatus used:
- MCR300
- Thermal Unit : TEK150P-C
- System Cone-Plate CP25-2 (25mm; 2°)
Samples with low viscosities are measured with a double-gap (22.25/22.75; 23.5/24.0 mm) system whereas high viscosity liquids are measured with a cone plate or single gap (12.5/13.56 mm) device.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the viscosity of the test substance was 140 mPa*s ("flowcurv" method - rotational rheometer).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the viscosity of the test substance according to the stress-controlled rotational rheometer fitted with a concentric cylinder system ("flowcurv" method). A few measurements were conducted over a shear rate range between 1 and 100 s-1. When the flow was Newtonian (i.e. the viscosity was independent of shear rate), which is usually the case for acrylate resins, the viscosity was returned at 20 or 100 s-1. Under the study conditions, the viscosity of the test substance was determined to be 140 mPa*s (Boutreau, 2016).
