This data publication presents newly acquired viscosity data for synthetic aqueous solutions of sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl₂), which have been prepared in a single salt and mixed form. The solutions covered a wide range of concentrations and mixing ratios representative of those encountered in geothermal settings. The data presented here span temperatures between 293 K and 353 K at ambient pressure.

The measured data were obtained at the Laboratory for Fluid physics at GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences.
