Additional information
The boiling point range of petrolatum is ≥300°C. A boiling point range of 360°C to 732°C was reported by CONCAWE (2010a). The boiling point was determined using the ASTM D 1160 test method.
The European Wax Federation (EWF, 1990) reported the boiling point range for petrolatum to be 320 to 700°C. A boiling point of 302°C has also been reported for white petrolatum (IPCS, 2002).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
