EC number: 416-740-6 | CAS number: -
Melting point / freezing point
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- melting point/freezing point
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2003
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Reliability rating is 2 because melting point/pour point was carried out using ASTM 5950 method for pour point determination of petroleum products. Although not conducted under GLP, ExxonMobil laboratories have carried out pour point determinations reliably for a large number of petroleum lubricant substances following this standard ASTM method
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: ASTM D-97
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The ASTM D-97 pour point method determines the lowest temperature at which a test substance will flow freely when cooled under the prescribed conditions of the test.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- pour point
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- -36 °C
- Atm. press.:
- 102 kPa
- Remarks on result:
- other: Pour point
- Conclusions:
- The pour point of the test substance was determined to be -36 C using the ASTM D-97 test method.
- Executive summary:
The pour point of the test substance was determined to be -36 C using the ASTM D-97 test method.

Description of key information
The pour point of the test substance was determined to be -36 C using the ASTM D-97 test method.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- -36 °C
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
