Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Name:
Hydrocarbons, C14-C20 (even numbered), n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics
Type of composition:
boundary composition of the substance
State / form:
liquid
Reference substance:

Reference substance:
Hydrocarbons, C14-C20 (even numbered), n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics
Reference substance:
Hydrocarbons, C14-C20 (even numbered), n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics
Reference substance:
Hydrocarbons, C14-C20 (even numbered), n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics
Reference substance:
Hydrocarbons, C14-C20 (even numbered), n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

Persistence Assessment

The substance is readily biodegradable and therefore based on initial persistence screening is not expected to meet the Persistent (P) or very Persistent (vP) criteria.

Bioaccumulation Assessment

An evaluation of representative hydrocarbon structures indicate some structures meet the Bioaccumulative (B) or very Bioaccumulative (vB) criteria (Lampi et al., 2010).

Toxicity Assessment

No representative structures were identified as PB or vPvB, therefore a toxicity assessment is not needed.

Summary and overall Conclusions on PBT or vPvB Properties

No representative hydrocarbon structures were found to meet the PBT / vPvB criteria. See detailed report in Section 13: An Evaluation of the Persistence, Bioaccumulation and Toxicity of Petroleum Hydrocarbons (Lampi et al., 2010)
