HPLC Method

In the chromatogram of the test solution, several test item peaks were observed. Peaks with an area percentage above 1% are reported.

The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.178 x log Pow– 0.097 (r = 0.97, n = 12).

Conclusions:
70% log Pow >6.5
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties for Formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with acetone and diphenylamine.

 

The study was performed to the following guidelines, in compliance with GLP:

European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.8: “Partition Coefficient”, Official Journal of the European Union no. L142, May 31, 2008.

Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals no. 117: "Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method", April 13, 2004.

United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Product Properties Test Guidelines no. OPPTS 830.7570: "Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water), Estimation by Liquid Chromatography", August 1996.

 

The HPLC method was applied for the determination of the partition coefficient (Pow) of Formaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with acetone and diphenylamine.

 

70% log Pow >6.5

Description of key information

Key value determined in a GLP accredited laboratory study using the HPLC method in accordance with OECD Guideline 117, EU Method A.8 and US EPA Procedure 830.7570.
