Executive summary:

Under the conditions of this study a viscosity of 0.86 mm2/s was determined for the test substance, Hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes.

Description of key information

The viscosity for hydrocarbons, C7-C9, isoalkanes is between 0.5 and 1.2 mm2/s at 20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The measurement of viscosity of petroleum distillates is covered by method ASTM D 445. A test by ExxonMobil Chemical (2010) determined a viscosity of 0.86 mm2/s at 20°C.
