Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Justification for type of information:
Data comes from an online compilation using secondary data sources. There is no experimental study reference, however data is cited in the database as peer reviewed, and recommended in ECHA Guidance on information requirements. Therefore it is considered as reliable, but with restrictions due to lack of details.

Description of key information

Major components of the substance (about 80% of the composition) are ranging between 2.38 and 2.97 (literature) and some minor constituents have a log Kow > 4.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No study was conducted on the oil itself.

The test item is a natural complex substance (NCS). It is a mixture of several constituents, but three of them represent about 80% of that mixture.

Log P of each of these three major constituents were reported below. These data come from literature data :

- linalool log Kow ca 2.97,

- camphor logKow ca 2.38,

- cineol 1,8 logKow ca 2.74.

However, the substance contains minor constituents, such as alpha and beta pinene, with a logKow > 4 according to literature data :

- alpha pinene: logKow ca 4.83

- beta pinene: logKow ca 4.16

As no CSA is required for the tonnage band of concern, no key value was retained.
