The viscosity was constant at all shear rates at both temperatures. The test item was thus considered to be a Newtonian fluid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The dynamic viscosity of the test item at 20°C and 40°C ranged between 1 to 100 mPa.s at a shear rate from 340 to 2705 s-1.
The test item was considered to be a Newtonian fluid.

The dynamic viscosity of p-METHOXYPROPIOPHENONE was determined to be:
- 65.5 mPa.s at 20°C ± 0.2°C at constant shear rate of 583 s-1,
- 16.1 mPa.s at 40°C ± 0.1°C at constant shear rate of 583 s-1.
Executive summary:

The determination of the viscosity was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No 114 “Viscosity of liquids” (October 2012) and with Analytical Method DRT 5230 “Determination of dynamic viscosity with a rotary viscometer Haake VT550 or Rheolab QC”.

 

The dynamic viscosity of p-METHOXYPROPIOPHENONE was determined to be:

- 65.5 mPa.s at 20°C ± 0.2 °C at constant shear rate of 583.1 s-1

- 9.71 mPa.s at 40°C ± 1 °C at constant shear rate of 583.1 s-1

The test item was considered to be a Newtonian fluid
