CAS NUMBER: 8009-03-8

TEST  ITEMS

TEST METHOD

Appearance

White or almost white, translucent, soft unctuous mass, slightly fluorescent in daylight when melted.

Solubility

Practically insoluble in water, slightly soluble in methylene chloride, practically insoluble in ethanol (96%) and in glycerol.

Density

0.81-0.88

Identification

First identification A, B, D

Second identification A, C, D

A.     Drop point: Between 35 ℃ and 70 ℃and doesn’t differ by more than 5 ℃ from the value stated on the label.

B.      IR: comparable to reference standard.

C.     Chemical Test: The solid upper layer is violet-pink or brown.

D.  Appearance.

Acidity or Alkalinity

Not more than 0.5 mL of 0.01M NaOH.

Cone Penetration (0.1mm)

130-210

UV Light Absorption

 (290 nm)

Not more than 0.5

Drop Point ℃

35-70

Polycyclic Aromatic

Hydrocarbons (UV-VIS

At no wavelength in the range 260 nm to 420 nm does the absorbance of the test solution exceed that of the reference solution at 278 nm.

Foreign Organic Matter

Heat 1 g until fumes appear, No acrid odor is evolved.

Sulphated Ash

Not more than 0.05%

Consistency

60-300

CONCLUSION

COMPLIES WITH BP2015.
