Key result
Temp.:
40°C
Parameter:
dynamic viscosity (in mPa s)
Value:
200.48

The dynamic viscosity was calculated from the arithmetic mean of the kinematic viscosity (2 replicates) based on the density of the test item:

  Kinematic visosity      Density nD420  Dynamic Viscosity
   1. measurement  2. measurement    
 20 °C     Value above the measuring limit.    
 40 °C  190.58 mm²/s 190.67 mm²/s   1.0517 g/cm³  200.48 mPa s

 

Conclusions:
Dynamic viscosity is 200.48 mPa s at 40 °C.
Executive summary:

Viscosity was determined using the capillary viscosimeter method (kinematic viscosity; ASTM D 445; mean of two determinations) at 40°C:

kinematic viscosities of 190.58 and 190.67 mm²/s at 40°C, corresponding to a dynamic viscosity of 200.48 mPa s.

Description of key information

Dynamic viscosity, calculated from the kinematic viscosity and the density of the substance, according to ASTM D 445: 200.48 mPa s at 40 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:
200.48 mPa · s (dynamic)
at the temperature of:
40 °C

Additional information

The kinematic viscosity was determined according to ASTM D 455. Two replicate measurements were performed, resulting in a mean kinematic viscosity of 190.63 mm²/s. Based on the density of the substance of 1.0517 g/cm³, the dynamic visosity was determined to be 200.48 mPa s.

Based on the kinematic viscosity of the test item at 40°C of 190.63 mm^2/s, a classification for Aspiration toxicity according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) is cleary not applicable.  

In conclusion, according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) no classification requirements exist for the submission substance with regard to aspiration toxicity.
