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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The available measured data for degradation in soil indicate that after 51 days contact time, constituents of GTL Gasoil were not detectable. It was not firmly established whether this is due to biodegradation, loss by evaporation or that the constituents were irreversibly bound to the soil matrix. Scientific judgment would suggest that it is probably a combination of all three. Similarly, studies with full-range GTL Base Oil Distillates and GTL Base Oil 3 indicated a significant degree of test substance removal, most of which can be attributed to biodegradation processes.
Since the constituents of Hydrocarbons, C18-C24, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics are within the carbon number range covered by the read across substances, it can therefore be concluded, based on the available weight of evidence, that a significant degree of removal, including biodegradation, will occur in soil.
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.
