Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
viscosity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Non-GLP, experimental study, published in peer reviewed literature, predates implementation of GLP and/or development of study guidelines but otherwise acceptable for assessment

Conclusions:
The kinematic viscosity of 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene was experimentally determined to be 0.843 and 0.630 mm2/s at 20 ºC and 50 ºC, respectively. The dynamic viscosity was determined to 0.727 and 0.528 mPa.s at 20 ºC and 50 ºC, respectively.
Executive summary:

The study has a reliability rating of 2 because the source predates implementation of GLP and development of study guidelines, however the procedure and means of analysis suggest that the methodology was appropriate to evaluate the viscosity of an organic liquid substance. There is otherwise no information in the article to suggest that the data are invalid. The kinematic viscosity of 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene was experimentally determined to be 0.843 and 0.630 mm2/s at 20 ºC and 50 ºC, respectively. The dynamic viscosity was determined to 0.727 and 0.528 mPa.s at 20 ºC and 50 ºC, respectively.

Description of key information

The kinematic viscosity of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene was experimentally determined to be 0.843 and 0.630 mm2/s at 20 ºC and 50 ºC, respectively. The dynamic viscosity was determined to 0.727 and 0.528 mPa.s at  20 ºC and 50 ºC, respectively.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

The only reliable experimental study (Boelhouwer 1951) identified is from peer reviewed published literature and so can be considered reliable and suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint.
