Description of key information

The kinematic viscosity of the test item was determined with the capillary viscosimeter method.
Kinematic viscosity at
20°C [mm²/s] 0.8

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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

Additional information

Viscosity was determined using the capillary viscosimeter method (kinematic viscosity; ASTM D 445; mean of two determinations) at 20°C and 40°C:

20°C: 0.8025 mm^2/s, corresponding to a dynamic viscosity of 0.699 mPa s.

40°C: 0.637 mm^2/s.

In the supporting study performed according to OECD guideline no. 114 [adopted on 12 May 1981] the value of 0.8 mm^2/s at 20°C is corroborated. No analyisis at 40°C had been performed within this study.

Based on the kinematic viscosity of the test item at 40°C (arithmetic mean of 2 replicates) of 0.637 mm^2/s, for hydrocarbons a classification as Aspiration toxicity, Hazard Category 1 would be applicable according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). However, the submission substance is an ester. Thus, classification criteria based on viscosity do not apply to the submission substance.

 

In conclusion, according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) no classification requirements exist for the submission substance with regard to aspiration toxicity.
