- Key result
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -18 °C
- Decomposition:
- no
- Sublimation:
- no
- Remarks on result:
- other: ± 3°C
- Conclusions:
- The pour point of the test item has been determined to be -18 ± 3°C (255 ± 3 K).
- Executive summary:
The melting point of the test item has been determination using the pour point method, designed to be compatible with EU Method A.1 and OECD Guideline 102, under GLP compliance. A preliminary test was performed prior to the main test. the determination of the melting point in the main test was carried out in duplicate. The pour point of the test item has been determined to be -18 ± 3°C (255 ± 3 K).
Reference
Preliminary Test
The pour point of the preliminary test was -20 ± 3°C (253 ± 3 K).
Main Test
The results of the main test are shown in the following table:
| Determination 1 | Determination 2 | |
| Stationary point (°C) | -21 | -21 |
| Pour point (°C) | -18 | -18 |
As the test item was a complex mixture, it was considered that the pour point method was the most appropriate test method.
The pour point of the test item has been determined to be -18 ± 3°C (255 ± 3 K).
Description of key information
The melting point of the test item has been determination using the pour point method, designed to be compatible with EU Method A.1 and OECD Guideline 102, under GLP compliance (Fox, 2015). A preliminary test was performed prior to the main test. the determination of the melting point in the main test was carreid out in duplicate. The pour point of the test item has been determined to be -18 ± 3°C (255 ± 3 K).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -18 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
