Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Study period:
February 2012
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The viscometer that was used employs the principle of rotational viscometry - the torque required to turn an object, such as a spindle, in a fluid indicates the viscosity of the fluid.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
rotational viscometer (dynamic)
Temp.:
other: 25.0°C
Parameter:
dynamic viscosity (in mPa s)
Value:
3.03

Description of key information

The viscosity of dimethyl adipate has been determined to be 3.03 mPa.s at 25 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:
3.03 mPa · s (dynamic)
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The viscosity was determined at 25 °C, therefore the value of 3.03 is certainly slightly underestimated for 20 °C.
