Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics (D90) is considered readily biodegradable based on data for analogue substances.
Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (GS215) attained 71% biodegradation in 28 days and the substance is therefore considered to be readily biodegradable.
Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics <2% aromatics biodegraded to an extent of 68% after 28 days and 69% after 31 days in an OECD 301F (manometric respirometry) and is therefore considered to be readily biodegradable.
Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
Biodegradation in water
Hydrocarbons C12-C15 n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics (D90) is readily biodegradable, therefore simulation tests in surface water are not required.
Biodegradation in sediment
Hydrocarbons C12-C15 n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics (D90) is readily biodegradable, therefore simulation tests in sediment are not required.
Biodegradation in soil
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, the simulation testing on ultimate degradation in soil does not need to be conducted as Hydrocarbons C12-C15 n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics (D90) is readily biodegradable.
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.
