This test method covers the determination of the melting point

petrolatum group, microcrystalline waxes, or blends of such waxes
with paraffin wax or scale wax.
NOTE 1—For additional methods used for testing petroleum waxes,
see Test Method D127 and Test Method D938. Results may differ,
depending on the method used. For pharmaceutical petrolatum, Test
Method D127 usually is used.
