Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The pour point of the test item has been determined to be less than -20°C (253 K).

Executive summary:

Method

The determination was carried outusing BS 2000: Part 15 (equivalent to ISO 3016), designed to be compatible with Method A1 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.

Procedure

A sample of test item was poured into a test jar which was then enclosed in a glass jacket. The sample was heated to 46°C in a water bath set at 48°C before being allowed to cool in air to 35°C. The sample was transferred to a bath maintained at -1°C to 2°C and cooled to 10°C, then transferred to a bath maintained at -18°C to -15°C and cooled to -7°C, then finally transferred to a bath maintained at -35°C to -32°C. Starting at -2°C and at intervals of 3°C, the sample was tilted to a horizontal position for a period of 5 seconds, during which the sample was observed for signs of flow.

Conclusion

The pour point of the test item has been determined to be less than -20°C (253 K).
