Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 232-455-8 | CAS number: 8042-47-5 A highly refined petroleum mineral oil consisting of a complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from the intensive treatment of a petroleum fraction with sulfuric acid and oleum, or by hydrogenation, or by a combination of hydrogenation and acid treatment. Additional washing and treating steps may be included in the processing operation. It consists of saturated hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C15 through C50.

Additional information
In a key static 48 -hour short-term Daphnia magna limit test (OECD 202; KS = 2), 10 animals/loading were exposed to the WAF of a highly refined base oil (HT350) at a nominal concentrations of 100 mg/L. The 48 hour LL50 was >100 mg/L and the NOEL was ≥100 mg/L (Petro-Canada, 2008f).
In four supporting 48-hour short-term Daphnia magna limit tests, 10 animals/loading were exposed to highly refined base oils (HT70, HT100, HT200, and N60LHT) at nominal concentrations of 100 mg/L. The 48 hour LL50 was >100 mg/L and the NOEL was ≥ 100 mg/L (Petro-Canada, 2008g, h, i, j).
Supporting data estimated from the PETROTOX computer model show no acute toxicity of highly refined base oil to aquatic invertebrates at or below its maximum attainable water solubility (Redman et al., 2010b). These predictions support the applied read across.
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.
