Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Remarks:
The result is sourced from a flash point study report
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Visual observation and experience on use and handling.
GLP compliance:
yes
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Form:
other: clear liquid
Colour:
Colourless
Substance type:
organic
Conclusions:
The substance was reported as a clear colourless liquid in a flash point study report. The result is considered reliable.
Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Justification for type of information:
1. Hypothesis for the analogue approach:
The hypothesis for the analogue approach is that both the registration substance, Hydrocarbons, C9-C11, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (target substance), and the test substances, Hydrocarbons, C8-C11, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (source substance) and Hydrocarbons, C9-C12, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics (source substance), are produced from the same Fischer-Tropsch substance, GTL Gasoil, by fractional distillation. The substances are members of the C9-C14 Aliphatics [≤2% Aromatics] Hydrocarbon Solvents Category.
The source substances contain the all of the constituents of the target substance. The substances have constituents that are part of the same homologous series and have many constituents in common. The substances therefore have qualitatively similar properties (RAAF Scenario 2 applies).
2. Source and target chemical(s)
The source substance Hydrocarbons, C8-C11, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics is composed of linear, branched and cyclic hydrocarbons of chain length C8-C11
The source substance Hydrocarbons, C9-C12, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics, is composed of linear, branched and cyclic hydrocarbons of chain length C9-C12
The target substance, Hydrocarbons, C9-C11, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatics, is composed of linear, branched and cyclic hydrocarbons of chain length C9-C11.
3. Analogue approach justification
The constituents of the source and target substances are all hydrocarbons. Identical constituents have identical physicochemical profiles. The source substances cover the full carbon chain length of the target substance.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
