Executive summary:

The pour point of the substance 'Paraffin waxes (Fischer-Tropsch), isomerization' has been determined using method ASTM D97: 


- pour point (product grade 1): 78°C [=351.15 K]


- pour point (product grade 2): 90°C [=363.15 K]


- range: 78 - 90°C


- key result pour point: ca. 84°C (arithmetic mean).
