Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
viscosity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Test Guideline 114 (Viscosity of Liquids)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A tube was placed in a water bath set at a temperature of 38°C and allowed to stabilise for 10 minutes.
After temperature stabilisation is complete, the rubber bung on the tube was removed to allow the liquid sample to
flow. A stop watch was used to time the flow between the graduation marks below and above the
bulbous section of the tube.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
flow cup (static)
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch Number KB17030481
Key result
Temp.:
other: 38 C
Parameter:
kinematic viscosity (in mm²/s)
Value:
ca. 48
Conclusions:
A quality control sample of MK92K was required to undergo a Viscosity
of Liquids assessment using a U-tube method to aid REACH registration of the substance.

Description of key information

 A viscosity assessment  has shown repeatable results (Table 1). The average viscosity of MK92K was 47.9 cSt at 38°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:
47.9 mm²/s (static)
at the temperature of:
38 °C

Additional information

MK92K does not contain hydrocarbons at a concentration considered to lead to toxicity by aspiration
