Conclusions:
The apparent viscosity was determined to be 1357 mPa·s at 20ºC (shear rate 25 s-1).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the apparent viscosity of the read across substance, C8 -18 and C18 -unsatd. DEA, in accordance with OECD Guideline 114 and ISO Method 3219 using the standard Brookfield method. The apparent viscosity was determined to be 1357 mPa·s at 20ºC (shear rate 25 s-1) (Amin, 2010).

Description of key information

The apparent viscosity of the read across substance, C8-18 and C18 unsatd. DEA, was determined according to OECD Guideline 114 and ISO Method 3219 using the standard Brookfield method (Amin, 2010).
