Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information

A sample of test material 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 trasferred to a bath maintained at - 18°C to - 15°C to maintain cooling. Starting at 10°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.
The pour point of the test material has been determined to be 271 +/- 3 K.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
