** value quoted by supplier
Details on matrix:
no data available
Details on test conditions:
As the test material was noted to contain numerous salted sulphonic acid groups, testing was carried out at pH 7, with the test material in its fully ionised state.
Computational methods:
The adsorption coefficient was calculated using the following equation:

Log10 Koc = (Log10 k-A)/B

Koc = adsorption coefficient
k = capacity factor
A = intercept of the calibration curve
B = slope of the calibration curve

Conclusions:
The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test material has been determined to be less than 17.8, log10 Koc <1.25.
Executive summary:

In a determination of general physico-chemical properties study (Harlan project number: 0959/0224) the test material has been determined to to have an adsorption coefficient of less than 17.8, log10 Koc <1.25.

The determination was carried out using the HPLC screening method, Method C19 Adsorption Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

As the test material was noted to contain numerous salted sulphonic acid groups, testing was carried out at pH 7, with the test material in its fully ionised state.
