The pour point of the preliminary test was 7 ± 3 °C (280 ± 3 K).

 

Definitive Test

The results of the main test are shown in the following table:

 

Observation                     Determination 1              Determination 2

Stationary point (°C)       6                                            6

Pour point (°C)                9                                            9

 

Overall pour point result:             9 ± 3 °C (282 ± 3 K)

 

Discussion

To aid transferal to the test vessel, the test item was heated in a water bath at up to 60 °C in order to make it mobile enough to pour.

Conclusions:
The pour point of the test item has been determined to be 9 ± 3 °C (282 ± 3 K).
Executive summary:

Melting/Freezing Point. 9 ± 3 °C (282 ± 3 K) by the pour point method, designed to be compatible with Method A.1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 102 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 27 July 1995.
