Conclusions:
The kinematic viscosity was found to be 19000 mm2/s at 20°C and D (shear rate) = 1 to 100 s-1, and 1600 mm2/s at 40°C and D = 1 to 500 s-1. The dynamic viscosity was found to be 21000 mPa.s at 20°C and D = 1 to 100 s-1, and 1800 mPa.s at 40°C and D = 1 to 500 s-1.
Executive summary:

The viscosity of the test substance was determined in accordance with the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 114. The dynamic viscosity was measured using the rotational viscosimetry method, with the kinematic viscosity calculated using the dynamic viscosity and the densities. The kinematic viscosity was found to be 19000 mm2/s at 20°C and D (shear rate) = 1 to 100 s-1, and 1600 mm2/s at 40°C and D = 1 to 500 s-1. The dynamic viscosity was found to be 21000 mPa.s at 20°C and D = 1 to 100 s-1, and 1800 mPa.s at 40°C and D = 1 to 500 s-1.

Description of key information

The dynamic viscosity of the test substance was found to be 21000 mPa.s at 20°C and 1800 mPa.s at 40°C. Using the dynamic viscosity and the densities the kinematic viscosity was calculated as 19000 mm^2/s at 20°C and 1600 mm^2/s at 40°C.
