Description of key information

The viscosity of members of this category have been measured in the range 1.66 mm2/s at 20°C (C12) – 6.84 mm2/s at 20°C (C16) indicating that viscosity increases with carbon number. The viscosity of C8 category members is therefore expected to be <1.66 mm2/s at 20°C.


 


In a guideline, proprietary study (Evonik 2009) the kinematic viscosity of 97280-83-6 was found to be 1.66 mm2/s (static) at 20°C. In a guideline, proprietary study (Aqura 2009) the kinematic viscosity of tetrabutene was found to be 6.84 mm2/s (static) at 20°C and 3.96mm2/s(static) at 40°C. In a proprietary supporting study (Aqura 2009) the dynamic viscosity of tetrabutene was found to be 5.55 mPa.s at 20°C.


These data will be read across to other members of the category.

The mean of the static viscosity values for the category is 4.25 mm2/s at 20°C and this has been used to complete the 'key value for chemical safety assessment'.
