Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction, alkylated and oligomerised
EC Number:
701-299-7
Molecular formula:
not applicable (depends on the monomers; see "Structural formula")
IUPAC Name:
Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction, alkylated and oligomerised
Test material form:

Details on test material:
- Manufacturers identification: Novares TL 10, Novares L 100, Novares L 800, Novares C 10 (different types/technical products of the substance)
- Substance type: organic
- Test material is 'Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction, alkylated and oligomerised', EC list number 701-299-7 (assigned by ECHA after request for change of EC number/EC name). Originally, the substance Hydrocarbons, C9-unsaturated, polymerised, CAS No. 71302- 83-5, was submitted for registration. Subsequent to substance validation, the identity of the substance was changed by ECHA (EC number 615-276-2 and new name 'Distillates (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-12 fraction", mainly C8 - C10 unsaturated aromatic and alkylaromatic hydrocarbons, predominantly styrene- and indene-derivatives, obtained by Lewis acid-initiated alkylation and polymerisation').

The test substance, Novares TL 10, applied on skin at a dose 2000 mg/kg of animal weight did not cause death of animals.    

Clinical signs of intoxication (piloerection, decreased response to stimuli) were observed in all males and four females. Transient decreases in body weight of females were recorded during study. No macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP regulation) no classification required
Conclusions:
The test material 'Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction, alkylated and oligomerised' (technical product TL 10) did not cause any mortality in an acute dermal toxicity test (OECD 402) at the limit concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. The LC50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
