Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The viscosity of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate is 5.94 mPa s at 20°C.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:
5.94 mPa · s (dynamic)
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The viscosity of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate was calculated using "method 2" published by Grain (1990) and which is based on the equation by van Velzen et al (1972) being log ηL= B3(1/T – 1/T0). The calculation yielded a viscosity of 5.94 mPa s at 20°C.

According to the "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, May 2008", the applied estimation method is a recommended method for the evaluation of non experimental data for viscosity.

This calculation is supported by data from the material safety data sheet: The viscosity of Bis(2-ethylhexyl) carbonate is reported to be 6 mPa s at 20°C (Method: Brookfield-Visc.RVT Sp.1).
