Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 271-260-2 | CAS number: 68527-18-4 A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by distillation of the products from a steam cracking process. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly greater than C9 and boiling in the range of from approximately 205°C to 400°C (400°F to 752°F)

Description of key information
A measured BCF is not available for any streams in this category. Non-polar substances have been shown to have a linear relationship between log Kow and BCF in the log Kow range 1 - 6. Several QSAR models have been developed that calculate the BCF of non-polar, hydrophobic compounds on the basis of their log Kow (e.g. Veith et al, 1979 and USEPA, 2008). The most of the substances in streams of this category fall within the applicability domain of these models. For the substance with a log Kow >6, a parabolic method has been used for calculation. BCF have been calculated for various representative components of these streams. The calculated values range from 39 to 18220 (USEPA 2008) and 57.5 to 162181 (Veith 1979).
Additional information
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
