Conclusions:
Viscosity values of 1.6 and 1.2 mm²/s (static) at 20°C and 40°C respectively were obtained for the substance in accordance with relevant test method. The result is considered to be reliable.

Description of key information

Viscosity: 1.6 mm²/s at 20°C (OECD 114)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:
1.6 mm²/s (static)
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

Kinematic viscosity values of 1.6 mm2/s at 20°C and 1.2 mm2/s at 40°C were determined for the substance using a capillary viscometer in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 114 but not in compliance with any known quality system. The result is considered to be reliable.
