Executive summary:

The pour point of the test substance was determined under GLP according to OECD 102 / EU A1 guideline.

Preliminary testing indicated that the pour point was greater than 66 °C.

The main determination was carried out in duplicate and the results were within accuracy limits of the method. Therefore the mean value was retained as the result of the study. No indication of decomposition was observed.

 

The pour point of the test item has been determined to be 68 ± 3 °C (341 ± 3 K).

Description of key information

The pour point of the test item has been determined to be 68 ± 3 °C (341 ± 3 K).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
68 °C

Additional information

A fully reliable GLP experimental study, conducted according to a recognized OECD/EC guidelin, pour point method, is available. It is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
