Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
Environmental transport, distribution and transformation
The environmental transport and transformation of Stoddard solvent constituents will depend on the physico-chemical and biological properties of the constituents. The lower molecular weight alkanes and aromatics tend to volatilize and undergo photodegradation in the atmosphere. The higher molecular weight alkanes and cycloalkanes tend to be sorbed to organic matter in soil or water. Biodegradation is expected to be the primary fate of white spirit in soil and water.
Biodegradation of C7 to C12 hydrocarbons is expected to be significant under environmental conditions favourable to microbial oxidation. Ready biodegradability has been demonstrated in laboratory tests using sewage sludge. The low water solubility and moderate vapour pressure of white spirit suggest that volatilization and subsequent photooxidation are important for abiotic degradation. Reported octanol/water partition coefficients (log Pow) of 3.5 to 6.4 indicate a moderate potential for bioaccumulation. However, the degradability and lowered bioavailability following sorption would reduce the likelihood of bioconcentration in the field.
Additional information
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.
