Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Abiotic degradation
Abiotic degradation by hydrolysis is not relevant for the constituents of ‘Paraffin waxes (Fischer–Tropsch), full-range, C15–C50 branched and linear’ since they lack functional groups susceptible to reaction with water. Similarly, the absence of chromophores which absorb UV or visible radiation means that direct phototransformation in air, water and soil are not expected to be significant removal processes for the substance. Indirect photolysis resulting from gas-phase reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals may occur.
Biotic degradation
There are no measured biodegradability data for the substance 'Paraffin waxes (Fischer-Tropsch), full-range, C15-50 - branched and linear'. However measured data was available for a number of related substances. These results indicate that 'Paraffin waxes (Fischer-Tropsch), full-range, C15-50 - branched and linear' is not expected to be readily biodegradable, but is likely to be inherently biodegradable.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.
