Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key result
Temp.:
other: 298.15K
Parameter:
dynamic viscosity (in mPa s)
Value:
0.846

Literature data (Brown et al.,1988): dynamic viscosity of (S)-(-)-limonene = 0.846 mPa.s

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the dynamic viscosity of (S)-(-)-limonene at 298.15 K was determined to be 0.8462 mPa.s.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted similarly to OECD Guideline 114 to determine the dynamic viscosity of (S)-(-)-limonene using Schott measuring system equipped with capillary viscometers. The kinematic viscosity was calculated from the average of six flow times using equation: ν = k (t – θ). The dynamic viscosity was calculated by the equation: η = ρν (ρ is density).  

 

Under the test conditions, the dynamic viscosity of (S)-(-)-limonene at 298.15 K was determined to be 0.8462 mPa.s.

Description of key information
