- Remarks:
- This study is classified as reliable with restriction by CONCAWE. The use of secondary sources of data is acceptable when they are based on a critical evaluation of peer-reviewed data and a consequent selection of a reliable and representative value for the property under investigation. Therefore, the values presented here are acceptable as they are from a reliable secondary source of phys chem. data.

Additional information
The density range for petrolatum ranges from 0.77 to 0.96 g/cm3at 15°C. The density for petrolatum was reported to be 0.865 -886 g/cm3at 15°C (CONCAWE, 2010a). The density was determined according to the EN ISO 12185 and ASTM D 4052 methods. Additionally, a density range of 0.77 to 0.96 g/cm3at 15°C was reported for petrolatum by the European Wax Federation (EWF, 1990).
Density of calcium oxpet amount to 0.97 g/cm3 at 20 dC.
