Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The pour point of the test item has been determined to be less than -20 ± 3°C (<253 ± 3 K).
Executive summary:

The pour point of the test item has been determined to be less than -20 ± 3°C  (<253 ± 3 K), using BS 2000: Part 15 (equivalent to ISO 3016), designed to be compatible with Method A1 Melting/Freezing Temperature of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Description of key information

The pour point of the test substance was determined to be less than -20 ± 3°C (<253 ± 3 K), using the pour point method BS 2000: Part 15 (equivalent to ISO 3016), designed to be compatible with EC test method A.1, under GLP conditions (Butler and White, 2010).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-20 °C

Additional information

The pour point is determined to be below -20 °C; the bounded value of - 20 °C can be used for the CSA.
