Description of key information
The pour point of icosan-1-ol is 64°C at 1013 hPa.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 64 °C
Additional information
A measured pour point value of 64°C at 1013 hPa was determined in accordance with OECD 102 Test Guideline.The result is considered to be reliable and is selected as key study.
It is supported by a values of 66.1°C at 1013 hPa and 72-73°C at 1013 hPa taken from a reliable handbook, and a value of 66°C from a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned.
Discussion of trends in the Category of C6-24 linear and essentially-linear aliphatic alcohols:
As the chain length increases, melting point increases. This is because molecular weight is higher and intermolecular forces in the substance are all higher.
