Boiling point

146 - 299 °C @ 101.325 kPa  [1], 237 °C @ 101.325 kPa [2]

The boiling temperature of the test material was found to range from 125 to 275 ºC at 100.23 - 100.52 Pa. Weighted average (237 ºC) was used as a key value used for chemical safety assessment. For NExBTL renewable diesel (a UVCB substance of similar composition to the substance) boiling temperature range was determined to be 127 - 286 ºC at 100.44 - 100.5 kPa. [2]

 29 - 70 °C @ 101.325 kPa [1],  48 ºC @ 101.325 kPa [2]

The flash point of the substance was determined to be 48 ºC. The flash point of NExBTL renewable diesel (a UVCB substance of similar composition to the substance) is 64 ºC. [2]

Flammability

The flash point of the substance is 48 ºC hence it is flammable according to CLP regulation No 1272/2008. [2]

Vapour density

 

Vapour pressure

10 - 37 hPa @ 37.8 °C [1], 43 Pa @ 25ºC [2] 

Vapour pressure of the substance was determined to be 43 Pa at 25ºC. Vapour pressure of NExBTL renewable diesel (a UVCB substance of similar composition to the substance) is 87.1 Pa at 25ºC. [2]

Solubility in water

The  water solubility of the substance was estimated to be less than 1 mg/l. According to REACH Annex VII column 2 (7.6) substances with water solubility less than 1 mg/l need not be tested for surface tension.    [2]

Solubility in organic solvents

 it can be assumed to be stable in organic solvents. [2]

The stability of NExBTL renewable diesel was investigated in a polar organic solvent (methanol) and a non-polar organic solvent (hexane) over a 30 day period at 25 ± 2ºC. The concentration of test material in the sample solutions was determined by gas chromatography (GC). The study was performed n a GLP laboratory. The test material was determined to be stable both in a polar organic solvent (methanol) and a non-polar organic solvent (hexane) and is thus soluble to organic solvents. Since the substance is a UVCB substance of similar composition to NExBTL renewable diesel, it can be assumed to be stable in organic solvents. [2]

Solubility in inorganic solvents

 

Hydrolysis

The chemical constituents that comprise the kerosine category consist entirely of carbon and hydrogen and do not contain hydrolyzable groups. As such, they have a very low potential to hydrolyze. [4]

Ionicity in water

 

Surface tension

The  water solubility of the substance was estimated to be less than 1 mg/l. According to REACH Annex VII column 2 (7.6) substances with water solubility less than 1 mg/l need not be tested for surface tension. [2]

Dispersion properties

 

Explosiveness

non-explosive [2]

The explosive properties of NExBTL renewable diesel were determined using Method A14 Explosive Properties of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. It was determined not to have explosive properties. Since the substance is a UVCB substance of similar composition to NExBTL renewable diesel, it can also be assumed to be non explosive. [2]

Special remarks on reactivity

not oxidising [2]

The oxidising properties of NExBTL renewable diesel were predicted using Method A21 Oxidising Properties (Liquids) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. The study was performed in a GLP laboratory. The structure of the test material was assessed for chemical groups that would imply oxidising properties. Based on the alkanes, C10– C20 branched and linear, structure of NExBTL renewable diesel, it is concluded that the material is not oxidising. Since the substance is a UVCB substance of similar composition to NExBTL renewable diesel, it is concluded that it also is not oxidising. [2]

Physical, chemical and biological coefficient

Koc

 

Log Kow (Log Pow)

 

7.5 [2]

≥5.91 to ≤7.2 at 35°C and pH 7.7 (measured)  [3]

 5.11 - 9.18 at 20°C (QSAR) [3]

The partition coefficient of the test material was found to range from 1.69 x 10E6 to >3.16 x 10E6, i.e. from logPow 6.23 to > 6.50. Octanol-water coefficients (Log Kow) of the main substance components (contributing > 99 % of the total weight by volume) and NExBTL renewable diesel components (contributing > 98.5 % of the total weight by volume) were determined using KOWWIN program developed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. LogKow of the individual components range from 2.8 to 10.1 with the weighted average being 7.5 for the substance and 8.4 for NExBTL renewable diesel. [2]

The substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Partition coefficient of the substance was determined to be in the range ≥8.2 x 10to ≤1.58 x 10(log10 Pow  ≥5.91 to ≤7.2) at 35°C and pH 7.7. The result was considered to be reliable but the results are not useful for chemical safety assessment. As supporting information, the log Kow for individual constituents of Hydrocarbons, C12-C15, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, <2% aromatcis have been predicted using a validated QSAR estimation method. The prediction method uses a fragment method and log Kow increases with increasing carbon number. The individual constituents of the substance have predicted log Kow values in the range 5.11 - 9.18 at 20°C. [3]

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND BEHAVIOUR

General terrestrial fate

 

General aquatic fate

 

General atmospheric fate

 

General persistence and degradability

Diesel / gas oil fractions do not meet the persistence criteria and can be regarded as being inherently biodegradable [6].

Abiotic degradation and metabolites

 

Biodegradation and metabolites

Kerosines are readily to inherently biodegradable. In the supporting OECD 301 study, naphtha solvents were readily biodegraded in 28 days but not within the 10 day window. The mean of three samples was 61% theoretical biological oxygen demand on Day 28 (Shell, 1997). In a valid OECD 301F supporting study Kerosine Mid-Blend was not considered readily biodegradable in 28 days, with less than 60% degradation on day 28 (58.6%). However, according to EPA guidance for biodegradability, it is considered inherently biodegradable since significant degradation occurred (Mobil, 1999). On the basis of this and from the known properties of hydrocarbons in the range C9 to C16, in their environmental classification report CONCAWE considered that kerosines are not readily biodegradable, but as they can be degraded by micro-organisms, they are regarded as being inherently biodegradable [4, 5].

Bioconcentration

Aquatic / sediment bioaccumulation: Substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for this endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. However, this endpoint has been calculated for representative hydrocarbon structures using the BCFWIN v2.16 model within EPISuite 3.12 as input to the hydrocarbon block method incorporated into the PETRORISK model. The predicted BCFs for hydrocarbons are generally overly conservative since biotransformation is not quantitatively taken into account. Therefore, indirect exposure and resulting risk estimates predicted by PETRORISK are likely to be overestimated [4].

Terrestrial bioaccumulation: Substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for this endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. However, this endpoint has been calculated for representative hydrocarbon structures using default algorithms in the EUSES model as input to the hydrocarbon block method incorporated into the PETRORISK model. The predicted BCFs for hydrocarbons are generally overly conservative since biotransformation is not quantitatively taken into account. Therefore, indirect exposure and resulting risk estimates predicted by PETRORISK are likely to be overestimated. [4]

Volatilization

 

Photolysis

Standard tests for atmospheric oxidation half-lives are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. [4]

This substance contains hydrocarbon molecules that absorb UV light below 290 nm, a range of UV light that does not reach the earth's surface. Therefore, this substance does not have the potential to undergo photolysis in water and soil, and this fate process will not contribute to a measurable degradative loss of this substance from the environment. [4]

Hydrolysis

The available data and available weight of evidence demonstrate that kerosines are resistant to hydrolysis because they lack a functional group that is hydrolytically reactive. Therefore, this fate process will not contribute to a measurable degradative loss of these substances from the environment. Further testing is not required under Annex XI, section 1.2. [4]

Soil adsorption and mobility

Substance is a hydrocarbon UVCB. Standard tests for this endpoint are intended for single substances and are not appropriate for this complex substance. However, this endpoint is characterized using quantitative structure property relationships for representative hydrocarbon structures that comprise the hydrocarbon blocks used to assess the environmental risk of this substance with the PETRORISK model [4].
