Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Adsorption / desorption

Standard adsorption studies for this endpoint are intended for monoconstituent substances and are not appropriate for petroleum UVCB substances. In accordance with Annex XI Section 1.3 the endpoint has been fulfilled using QSAR calculations for representative hydrocarbon structures that comprise the hydrocarbon blocks used to assess the environmental risk of this substance with the PETRORISK model (see the representative structures from the PETRORISK Product Library in the spreadsheet attached in IUCLID section 13.2). As such, testing is not scientifically necessary.

Henry's Law Constant

Standard Henry's Law Constant studies for this endpoint are intended for monoconstituent substances and are not appropriate for petroleum UVCB substances. In accordance with Annex XI Section 1.3 the endpoint has been fulfilled using QSAR calculations for representative hydrocarbon structures that comprise the hydrocarbon blocks used to assess the environmental risk of this substance with the PETRORISK model (see the representative structures from the PETRORISK Product Library in the spreadsheet attached in IUCLID section 13.2). As such, testing is not scientifically necessary.

Distribution Modelling

The distribution of Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics in the environmental compartments air, water, soil, and sediment, has been calculated using the PETRORISK Model, version 7.04. Computer modelling is an accepted method for estimating the environmental distribution of chemicals. Based on the regional scale exposure assessment, the multimedia distribution of Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics is 6.7 % to air, 1.8 % to water, 11 % to soil and 81% to sediment. Distribution modelling results are included in the 'Multimedia distribution modelling results' tab in the PETRORISK 2016 spreadsheet attached to the key Robust Study Summary (RSS) record.
