Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results are presented in the attached document "Figures and Tables - Viscosity.pdf".

There was no significant time dependence for the viscosity (Figures 1 and 2).

At both temperatures, the test item showed insignificant decrease in viscosity with increasing spindle speed (shear rate) (Figures 3 and 4 and Tables 1 and 2). This type of behaviour indicates that the test item is a Newtonian fluid.

Description of key information

54000 mPa.s at 20 °C and 8000 mPa.s at 40 °C (OECD114)
