Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

General discussion of environmental fate and pathways:

Hydrolysis:

Hydrocarbons, C6-C7, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 5% n-hexane

consists entirely of carbon and hydrogen and does not contain hydrolysable groups. As such, it has a very low potential to hydrolyse. Therefore, this degradative process will not contribute to its removal from the environment.

Biodegradation:

An OECD 301F Manometric Respirometry test was conducted using C6-C7, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, and cyclics C6 aliphatics (Shell 1997). The test substance was 98% degraded at the end of 28 days, and 83% degraded at the end of the 10-day window. The Hydrocarbons, C6-C7, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 5% n-hexane are considered to be readily biodegradable.
