Reference
Endpoint:
melting point/freezing point
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2009-2010
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Done in accordance to testing method ISO 3016 however not under GLP.
Justification for type of information:
The hypothesis for the analogue approach is that the both the registration substance, Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (target substance) and the test substance, Hydrocarbons, C13-C18, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics (source substance), are both hydrocarbons with some constituents in common. The substances therefore have qualitatively similar properties (RAAF Scenario 2 applies).
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across: supporting information
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: ISO 3016
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
Not specified
Type of method:
pour point
Key result
Melting / freezing pt.:
< -27 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Decomposition:
no
Sublimation:
no
Conclusions:
The pour measured using the ASTM D 97 method is less than -27°C at 1 atm.
Executive summary:

The pour point of the substance Hydrocarbons, C13-C18, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 2% aromatics measured using the ISO 3016 method is less than -27°C at 1 atm.

Description of key information

The pour point of Hydrocarbons, C14-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics, read across from the substance Hydrocarbons, C13-C18, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics, measured using the ASTM D 97 method, is below 0°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
