- 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.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
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).
Decomposition temperature for calcium oxpet is 149 dC.
