Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 270-727-8 | CAS number: 68477-38-3 A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by distilling cracked steam cracked distillate and/or its fractionation products. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon number predominantly in the range of C10 to low molecular weight polymers.

Description of key information
Data on the acute aquatic toxicity of a number of streams are available for this category. They were obtained from proprietary sources. No data were identified in the published literature. The data from these streams have been read across to the other category members.
The studies were conducted to standard guidelines and according to GLP and so are considered fully reliable for use as key studies. The authors report the results based both on nominal loading rates (WAF) and mean measured concentrations. As the test substance is a hydrocarbon stream with various components reporting a measured concentration could be misleading as the measured concentration does not relate to a concentration of the raw stream. Instead, we have used the results reported as WAF, which better represent the potential toxicity of the test substance.
Classification will be based on WAF data. Aquatic invertebrates had a LL50 range between 1.2 to 13 mg/L. The 96 hour LL50 for fish ranged from 1.1 to 48 mg/L. Algal studies report 72 hour ErL50 of 2.1-12.2 mg/L. Streams are not rapidly degradable and have a Log Kow range >2.4 and <6.5. Under classification and labelling regulations this would lead to a classification of Aquatic Chronic Category 2.
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.
