Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Distillation of Petroleum products at atmospheric pressure method , ASTM D 86
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The standard Annex V method for the determination of boiling temperature using the distillation method at atmospheric pressure (ISO 918) was not
appropriate for the test material of this nature. The test material is classed as a petroleum product with broad boiling temperature ranges.
The determination of boiling temperatures for petroleum products uses a specific method (IP 123 Petroleum Products - Determination of Distillation Characteristics) which is referenced in ASTM D 86, Standard Test Method for Distillation of PetroleumProducts at Atmospheric Pressure. The result
obtained using the Annex V Method is not a true reflection of the actual boiling range of the material. Therefore a non-GLP determination was
conducted using the specific ASTM D 86 method.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
distillation method

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The data generated by the inappropriate Distillation Method of Annex V gave results of 76 to 304 °C at 100.96 to 101.28 kPa [the mean 50%
distillation temperature was 278 ± 0.5 °C and the mean mid-90% distillation range (5 to 95% distillation) was 195 to 302 ± 0.5°C].
The determination using the ASTM D86-method gave a boiling temperature range of 491 to 630 K (218 to 357°C) at 101.1 kPa.
