EC number: 272-205-5 | CAS number: 68783-65-3 A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by subjecting a petroleum distillate to a sweetening process to convert mercaptans or to remove acidic impurities. It consists predominantly of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C2 through C4 and boiling in the range of approximately -51°C to -34°C (-60°F to -30°F).

Description of key information
Experimental data is available for representative constituents of the category, which indicate in a weight-of-evidence approach that the constituents are expected to biodegrade if released to the environment.
The QSAR predictions (BIOWIN and BioHCwin) add to the weight of evidence that all the constituents of the category can be expected to biodegrade if released to the environment. Therefore, the category is considered readily biodegradable. It is not feasible to perform ready biodegradation and simulation studies on gas substances.
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).
