EC number: 265-051-5 | CAS number: 64741-50-0 A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by vacuum distillation of the residuum from atmospheric distillation of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C15 through C30 and produces a finished oil with a viscosity of less than 100 SUS at 100°F (19cSt at 40°C). It contains a relatively large proportion of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons normally present in this distillation range of crude oil.

Justification for read across
No standard toxicity test data were found for unrefined / acid-treated oils. However, the potential effects of unrefined / acid treated oils can be predicted from aquatic toxicity data from studies of distillate aromatic extracts. This is valid for the following reasons: Unrefined /acid treated oils contain aromatic hydrocarbons, the quantities of which are substantially reduced through more severe refining steps. These aromatic compounds extracted from unrefined / acid treated oils are the primary constituents in distillate aromatic extracts, which are produced as by products in the refining of lubricant base oils. Therefore, aquatic toxicity data from studies of distillate aromatic extracts will provide a basis for a ‘worst case’ hazard assessment for the aromatic fraction contained in unrefined /acid treated oils.
In a read-across key static 48-hour short-term Daphnia magna toxicity test (OECD 202; KS=1), daphnids were exposed to WAFs of a light paraffinic distillate solvent (CAS # 64742-05-8) at nominal concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100, or 1000 mg/L. The 48-hour EL50 was calculated to be 35.9 mg/L and the NOEL was 0.1 mg/L based on mobility (ExxonMobil, 2010a).
Supporting data estimated from the PETROTOX computer model show no acute toxicity of unrefined / acid treated oil to aquatic invertebrates at or below its maximum attainable water solubility (Redman et al., 2010b). These data 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.
