Results

Preliminary estimate

The log10Powwas calculated to be 1.46. The calculation is presented in Appendix4.

 

Definitive Test

For typical chromatography see Appendix 5 - Attachment 2 of this Summary.

Conclusions:

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 3.88 x 103, log10 Pow3.59.
Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using the HPLC Method designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

 

The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph with a suitable detector (UV/). A reverse phase HPLC column with a very low percentage of polar groups was used (e.g. C8, C18). The mobile phase contained at least 25% aqueous phase.

 

Conclusion

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 3.88 x 103, log10 Pow3.59.
