Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No specific toxicokinetic data are available, either for the entire mixture or for single key constituents of the substance ‘Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction, alkylated and oligomerised’ (NAF-AO) [EC no. 701-299-7] (see Chap. 1). Toxicokinetics (ADME) are expected to follow general scientific rules.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No quantitative information can be provided. However, given the low to moderate molecular masses (from about 230 (dimers) over 360 (trimers)) to < 500 (tetramers)) along with their lipophilic nature, the dimeric and trimeric, but also the tetrameric fractions of NAF-AO are principally bioavailable via the gastro-intestinal route to some extent. They are likely to be metabolised to variable degree in the liver to more water-soluble species that can be excreted into the urine, or released into the bile and faeces changed or unchanged, but also be able to enter the circulatory system with the unchanged portion able to distribute to adipose tissue. Major metabolic sites (oxidative transformation) will be the aromatic rings and the methyl substituents as well as other sites on the alkyl/alkenyl chains.
Similar to related arylaromatic structures, they are unlikely to accumulate, at least at low exposure levels.
Penetration into and through the skin can be anticipated, too, due to the small molecular size and lipophilicity; however, this is likely to happen distinctly less than after oral ingestion due to the barrier function of the cutis.
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.
