Conclusions:
The average kinematic viscosity of the tested material was determined to be 39.8 mm2/s and 10.2 mm2/s at a temperature of 20 ºC and 40 ºC, respectively.
Executive summary:

The aim of the study was to evaluate the viscosity of the tested material according to OECD guideline 114. To determine the viscosity of the tested material two Ubbelohde capillaries no. M - 189 (20 °C) and no. E - 247 (40 °C) were used. The usage of Ubbelohde capillary viscometer to measure kinematic viscosity is detailed on the European Norm No. PN-EN ISO 3104. The average kinematic viscosity of the tested material was determined to be 39.8 mm2/s and 10.2 mm2/s at a temperature of 20 ºC and 40 ºC, respectively.
