European Inventory - EINECS

Listed below are nine substances on the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) that could reasonably describe various derivatives of the liquid pyrolysis product, which we now refer to as ARTS Petroleum Fraction (ARTS PF). Although listings on EINECS have no formal bearing on the TSCA Inventory status of ARTS PF or its derivatives, all of the inventories rely upon CAS to assign official names. Therefore, listings identical to those appearing on EINECS will likely be assigned to ARTS PF and its derivatives unless there are technical bases for creating a distinction.

Listing on EINECS indicates that the substance was in European commerce in 1985.

Plastics Pyrolysis Products Listed on EINECS

1. Plastics, wastes, pyrolyzed, xylene-styrene fraction (100801-68-1)
A fraction from the distillation of plastic waste pyrolysis oil. It consists predominantly of benzene, benzene homologs and styrene boiling in the range of approximately 90.degree.C to 160.degree.C (194.degree.F to 320.degree.F).


2. Plastics, wastes, pyrolyzed, styrene-indene fraction (100801-73-8)
A fraction from the distillation of plastic waste pyrolysis oil. It consists predominantly of styrene and indene and their homologs as well as benzene homologs.


3. Plastics, wastes, pyrolyzed, pyrolysis oil (100801-72-7)
The oil obtained from the pyrolysis of polymer wastes at 600.degree.C to 800.degree.C (1112.degree.F to 1472.degree.F). It consists predominantly of aromatic hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C6 through C28, heteroaromatics and other organic compounds boiling in the range of approximately 50.degree.C to 500.degree.C (122.degree.F to 932.degree.F).


4. Plastics, wastes, pyrolyzed, pyrolysis coke fraction {100801-71-6)
