EC number: 293-263-8 | CAS number: 91053-01-9 A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained from distillation of the butadiene-free C4 fraction of a naphtha steam-cracking process. It consists predominantly of olefinic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers of C8, C12, C16 and C20 and boiling in the range of approximately 170°C to 185°C (338°F to 365°F).

Description of key information
The partition co-efficient for tributene (C12) was determined to be 7.6 to 7.8 (Log Kow), based on the OECD Guideline 117 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), HPLC Method).
In the absence of measured data for other butylene oligomers, the partition coefficient was estimated using KOWWIN in EPISuite 4 (v4 .1). The predicted log Kow for the butylene oligomers (C8 -C20) ranged from 4.08 - 9.79.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
