Additional information

The pour point of Hydrocarbons, C11-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics is read across from another related substance. Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics has a measured pour point of -37°C according to ASTM D5950. This result is considered to be reliable and is used as weight of evidence that the registration substance, Hydrocarbons, C11-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics has a pour point of <-20°C.
