- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- 39.5 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: The atmospheric pressure at which this result was determined is not stated but it is consistent with expected properties at standard pressure.
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- >= 39 - <= 40 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: The atmospheric pressure at which this result was determined is not stated but it is consistent with expected properties at standard pressure. This value was taken from an earlier edition of the Handbook (1990)
- Conclusions:
- Melting point in the range 39-40ºC was reported in a handbook of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable.

Pour Point: 39°C / 39°C
Description of key information
The pour point of tetradecan-1-ol is 39°C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 39 °C
Additional information
A measured pour point value of 39°C at 1013 hPa was determined in accordance with ASTM-D97 test method. The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
It is supported by melting point value in the range 39-40°C taken from a reliable handbook which has been subject to peer review and various consistent results from other secondary sources of non assignable reliability.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
As the chain length increases, melting point increases. This is because molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.
