Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

The pour point of the substance Hydrocarbons, C16-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics has been determined at 9°C according to the ASTM D 97-66 method.

Description of key information

There is no data available for Hydrocarbons, C14-C20 (even numbered), n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics.However, data is available for structural analogue, Hydrocarbons, C16-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics. This data is read across to based on analogue read across and a discussion and report on the read across strategy is provided as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.

The pour point of the substance Hydrocarbons, C16-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics, measured following the ASTM D 97-66 method is 9°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
6 °C
