Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 265-086-6 | CAS number: 64741-84-0 A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained as the raffinate from a solvent extraction process. It consists predominantly of aliphatic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C5 through C11 and boiling in the range of approximately 35°C to 190°C (95°F to 374°F).

Additional information
Some ecotoxicology studies are available for streams within the High Benzene Naphthas as detailed below. These were all proprietary studies. The most sensitive endpoint was a 96 hr LL50 of 1.1 mg/L. This was a GLP compliant study which followed a standard guideline. It is considered reliable and suitable for use as a key study.
Experimental data provided for this Category was generated via use of WAFs. Deriving PNEC’s for UVCB substances based on WAF information is inappropriate. PNECs were derived using the PETROTOX v.3.05 model as implemented in Petrorisk.The hydrocarbon block method is used for environmental risk assessment (see REACH guidance, R7, app.13-1). PNECs for hydrocarbon blocks have been derived using the HC5 statistical extrapolation method and the target lipid model using representative structures.
The complete results of this evaluation are found in the Petrorisk Output Annex.
Given the large database of organisms included in the target lipid model, an assessment factor of one has been applied to the HC5.
Conclusion on classification
Data on the acute aquatic toxicity of 2 members of this category (CAS Numbers: 68513-69-9; 68921-67-5) were obtained from proprietary sources. No data was identified in the published literature. The data from these streams have been read across to the other category members.
The studies were conducted to standard guidelines and according to GLP and so are considered fully reliable for use as key/supporting studies. Authors report the LC50 based on nominal loading rates (WAF) and mean measured concentrations. As the test substance is a hydrocarbon stream with various components reporting a measured concentration could be misleading as the measured concentration does not relate to a concentration of the raw stream. Instead we have used the results reported as WAF, which better represent the potential toxicity of the test substance. Similar sensitivity was found in all three trophic levels (fish 96 hr LL50 range 1.1 -5.6 mg/L; invertebrates 48hr EL50 1.2 -2.3 mg/L; algae 72 hr ErL50 range 2.2-2.3 mg/L)
WAF data can be used for comparison with the criteria for environmental classification under the CLP Regulation. However, its use must be considered carefully. Based on the available data (96 hr LL50 1.1 mg/L WAF) streams in this category should have the classification Chronic 2 under the CLP Regulation. The measured partition coefficients of three streams in this category have log Kow ranges from 2.2 to >6.5. Therefore, the classifications cannot be removed.
Conclusion.
Based on the available experimental data (96 hr LL50 1.1mg/L WAF) streams in this category should have the classification Chronic 2 under the CLP Regulation. However, the classification of streams in this category may be impacted by other constituents. Components which may impact the classification should be identified by the registrants and the impact of their environmental classification included in the assessment. The classification of each stream can be determined following the equations given in the notes below.
Note:
Under the CLP Regulations
Acute 1 applies where: Acute 1 x M ≥ 25 %
Chronic 1 applies where: Chronic 1 × M ≥ 25 %
Chronic 2 applies where: (M × 10 × Chronic 1) + Chronic 2 ≥ 25 %
Chronic 3 applies where: (M × 100 × Chronic 1) + (10 × Chronic 2) + Chronic 3 ≥ 25 %
Chronic 4 applies where: Chronic 1 + Chronic 2 + Chronic 3 + Chronic 4 ≥ 25 %
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).
