Description of key information
Under the conditions of this study, the pour point of the test material was determined to be 6 ± 3 °C (279 ± 3 K).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 6 °C
Additional information
The key study was conducted in line with GLP and the standardised guidelines OECD 102 and EU Method A.1. It was assigned a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria detailed by Klimisch (1997).
As the test material is a complex and viscous mixture, it was determined that the pour point method was the most appropriate. The sample was heated to 46 °C and cooled. Starting at 18 °C, and at intervals of 3 °C, the sample was tilted to a horizontal position for a period of 5 seconds during which time the sample was observed for signs of flow.
Under the conditions of this study, the pour point of the test material was determined to be 6 ± 3 °C (279 ± 3 K).
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.
