Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Plate assays were performed on all samples with and without rat liver microsomal metabolic activation. Suspension assays for paraffinic basestocks were also performed with a 20–minute pre–incubation with bacteria. Positive controls were also evaluated. No mutagenicity was demonstrated at any dose level. However, results are not conclusive for mutagenic potential because of the test materials insolubility, and the inability to demonstrate toxicity for the bacterial strains.
