Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Lime oil is a Natural Complex Substance (NCS). The constituents of Lime oil are predominantly alicyclic unsaturated monoterpene hydrocarbons. Other constituents are alicyclic terpenoid hydrocarbons and acyclic monoterpene or terpenoid hydrocarbons. In the typical Lime oil (combined), the main constituent limonene is present at 44 %.
For 89 % of the constituents (12 substances) the available data are obtained in tests on the ready biodegradability, whereas for 7 substances or 10% of the composition, the results are based on data for closely related substances. Thus 99% of the composition of the NCS is in the category of readily biodegradable substances.
Therefore, Lime oil is considered as readily biodegradable.
Additional information
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.
