Description of key information

Adsorption / desorption:

Hydrocarbons, C10 -C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics are hydrocarbon UVCB's. Standard tests for this endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. However, this endpoint is characterised using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures that comprise the hydrocarbon blocks used to assess the environmental risk of this substance with the PETRORISK model (see Product Library in PETRORISK report attached in IUCLID section 13).

Adsorption coefficient has been calculated using Petrorisk.  The Koc for Hydrocarbons, C10 -C13, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics ranges from 4.68 x10^2 - 8.91 x10^5.

Volatilisation:

Volatilisation is dependent on Henry's Constant (HC) which is not applicable to complex substances. However, HC values for representative structures are included in the PETRORISK spreadsheet attached to IUCLID Section 13.

Henry's law constant for decane has been estimated in the Concawe library, using SPARC v4.2 program. The obtained value is 3.311 atm-m3/mol.

Henry's law constant for undecane has been estimated in the Concawe library, using SPARC v4.2 program. The obtained value is 4.47 atm-m3/mol.

Henry's law constant for dodecane has been estimated in the Concawe library, using SPARC v4.2 program. The obtained value is 6.17 atm-m3/mol.

Henry's law constant for tetradecane has been estimated in the Concawe library, using SPARC v4.2 program. The obtained value is 11.48 atm-m3/mol.

Distribution modelling:

The distribution of C9 -C14 Aliphatics (<2% aromatics) in the environmental compartments, air, water, soil, and sediment, has been calculated using the PETRORISK Model, version 5.2/5.3.Computer modeling is an accepted method for estimating the environmental distribution of chemicalsDistribution modelling results are included in the 'Multimedia distribution modelling results' tab in the PETRORISK spreadsheet attached to IUCLID section 13.
