Discussion

As the test item was a very viscous pasty liquid complex substance, it was considered that the pour point method was the most appropriate test method.

Conclusion

The pour point of the test item has been determined to be 39.0 ± 3 °C (312 ± 3 K).

Conclusions:
The pour point of the test item has been determined to be 39.0 ± 3 °C (312 ± 3 K).
Executive summary:

The pour point of the test item was measured under GLP according to OECD 102 / EU A1 guideline.

An aliquot of test item was poured into a test jar which was then enclosed in a glass jacket and were heated to 48 °C in a water bath set at 50 °C before being allowed to cool in air to 35 °C.

The determination was performed in duplicate.

Description of key information

The pour point of the test item has been determined to be 39.0 ± 3 °C (312 ± 3 K).
