Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
viscosity
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
from 2013-07-25 to 2013-09-04
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Test Guideline 114 (Viscosity of Liquids)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
capillary viscometer (static)
Temp.:
20°C
Parameter:
other: cSt
Value:
> 300 000
Temp.:
40°C
Parameter:
other: cSt
Value:
> 300 000

At 20°C, the sample was found to be a semi solid and could not be transferred to the viscometer. The sample was then heated and checked at 30°C, 40°C, 50°C and 60°C, but the sample was still found to be too viscous to transfer to the viscometer. After discussions with the client, the viscosity was reported as >300 000 cSt at 20°C and 40°C.

Conclusions:
The viscosity was reported as >300 000 cSt at 20°C and 40°C.
Executive summary:

The viscosity was determined using the capillary method.

At 20°C, the sample was found to be a semi solid and could not be transferred to the viscometer. The sample was then heated and checked at 30°C, 40°C, 50°C and 60°C, but the sample was still found to be too viscous to transfer to the viscometer.

Description of key information

Viscosity (OECD 114) The viscosity is > 300 000 cSt at 20°C and 40 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
