Remarks on result:
other: based on the determination of the pour point, mean of two replicate determinations

Three measurements were performed, with the following results:

- 31°C;

- 31°C;

giving a mean value of - 31°C for the pour point.

Conclusions:
Pour point (DIN ISO 3016 / ASTM D 97): -31°C.
Executive summary:

The melting point is estimated on the basis of the pour point, which was determined equivalent to DIN ISO 3016 / ASTM D 97 to be -31°C (mean of two replicate measurements: -31°C; -31°C).

Description of key information

Pour point (DIN ISO 3016 / ASTM D 97): -31°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-31 °C

Additional information

The pour point was determined based on DIN ISO 3016 / ASTM D 97 (based on 2 replicate measurements giving identical results).
