Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 265-155-0 | CAS number: 64742-52-5 A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treating a petroleum fraction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C20 through C50 and produces a finished oil of at least 100 SUS at 100°F (19cSt at 40°C). It contains relatively few normal paraffins.

Description of key information
-60°C to 0°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
To better describe the physical phase or flow characteristics of petroleum substances, the pour point is routinely used. The pour point of other lubricant base oils ranges from -60°C to 0°C. A pour point of 0°C was reported by CONCAWE (2010a). The pour point was determined using the EN ISO 3016 test method. Additionally, various pour point values ranging from -60°C to –6°C have also been reported for other lubricant base oils (CONCAWE, 1997).
Other Lubricant Base Oil Pour values (°C) (CONCAWE , 1997)
Solvent-dewaxed, light paraffinic (64742-56-9): -18°C
Solvent-dewaxed, heavy paraffinic (64742-65-0): -12°C
Hydrotreated, light paraffinic (64742-55-8): -18°C
Hydrotreated, heavy paraffinic (64742-54-7):-9°C
Hydrotreated, light naphthenic (64742-53-6):-60°C
Hydrotreated, heavy naphthenic (64742-52-5): -24°C
Solvent-dewaxed oil (64742-62-7): -6°C
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
