Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

EC number: 292-607-4 | CAS number: 90640-86-1 Distillate from the fractional distillation of coal tar of bituminous coal, with boiling range of 240°C to 400°C (464°F to 752°F). Composed primarily of tri- and polynuclear hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds.

Description of key information
The logPow of 4.92 of Distillates (coal tar), heavy oils (anthracene oil >50 ppm BaP, AOH [CAS no. 90640-86-1]) is estimated as the arithmetic mean of the three key components in AOH (see above Table 2):
Phenanthrene: logPow = 4.57
Fluoranthene: logPow = 5.20
Pyrene: logPow = 4.98
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 4.92
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
In a standard study using the HPLC method (OECD 117), the log Pow values of AOH constituents ranged from 4.43 to 6.33
The GC-analytical composition of AOH confirms that constituents present in AOH cover the Pow range from fluorene/phenanthrene to benzo[a]pyrene.
The large similarity of log Pow values of the selected key components and their already published log Pow has also been confirmed by this HPLC test.
Therefore, the mean value of phenanthrene, fluoranthene, and pyrene adopted as a log Pow for the total UVCB substance is continued to be used for risk assessment based on published values (data from EU 2008: Risk Assessment of Pitch, Coal Tar, high temp.):
Phenanthrene: log Pow = 4.57
Fluoranthene: log Pow = 5.20
Pyrene: log Pow = 4.98
