EC number: 265-054-1 | CAS number: 64741-53-3 A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by vacuum distillation of the residuum from atmospheric distillation of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C20 through C50 and produces a finished oil with a viscosity of at least 100 SUS at 100°F (19cSt at 40°C). It contains relatively few normal paraffins.

Model based on chemical fugacity. Multimedia distribution was calculated for C15, C20 and C50 hydrocarbons. Some low molecular weight hydrocarbons will partition to air, while larger molecular weight components are expected to exhibit greater partitioning behaviour to terrestrial media. Mobility in the aquatic and atmospheric environment is low due to low water solubility and low vapour pressure. These components will partition rapidly to the terrestrial compartment, where the main fate process is expected to be moderate to slow biodegradation of base oil components in soil and sediment. A summary of the EQC modelling of the distribution and transport between environmental compartments for selected hydrocarbon compounds in lubricant base oils is presented in the attached table and graph. The compounds selected for modeling represent various C15, C20 and C50 compounds in base oils (e.g., linear and branched paraffins, naphthenes and aromatic hydrocarbons).
