Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 271-237-7 | CAS number: 68526-89-6 A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by the distillation of products from the hydrogenation of isononanal from the hydroformylation of octene. It consists predominantly of C9-10 primary aliphatic alcohols, C10-20 dimer alcohols, C>18 acetals and esters and C>18 acid sodium salts and boils in the range of approximately 200°C to 400°C (392°F to 752°F).
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

Description of key information
According to screening criteria for bioaccumulation, a log pow above 4.5, a bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms of its components cannot be excluded, as the measured log pow of Octene, hydroformylation products, high boiling is 5.1 (determined via TOC) and 5.2 (determined via GC) for sample size 0.1 g/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Octene, hydroformylation products, high boiling, is a complex UVCB consisting of a multitude of (non-specific) structures with no pronounced lead structures/constituents. Therefore, radiolabelling of this UVCB is not possible due to the complex manufacturing process and the complexity of the substance itself (bottom product). Therefore, standard tests regarding the bioaccumulation in fish (OECD test guideline 305), which are designed for testing single substances, are not feasible for this UVCB as defined relevant constituents are not known and thus cannot be subject to radiolabelling by specific synthesis. For the same reason, the use of (Q)SARs model is not feasible.
According to screening criteria for bioaccumulation, a log pow above 4.5, a bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms of its components cannot be excluded, as the measured log pow for Octene, hydroformylation products, high boiling is 5.1 (determined via TOC) and 5.2 (determined via GC) for sample size 0.1 g/L.
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.
