Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Investigation of possible elution of the substance (BMH) and/or of its hydrolysis products, from a vulcanized rubber with water (kind of leakage/migration test).


The study was performed according to OECD 120 guideline,
although not under GLP conditions.


The original methods with "High-Performance Liquid
Chromatography" was applied to the analysis of eluted
substances into water, in order to divide the derived
substance from BMH substance from the other eluted substance
from the vulcanized rubber.

Vulcanized rubber particles size used for the analysis were
ca. 2 cubic millimeters.
GLP compliance:
not specified

Results and discussion

Results:
This study confirmed that only low quantities of two substances are eluted from the vulcanized rubber:
- 3-hydroxy-2-naphtoichydrazide (HNH, CAS no. 5341-58-2) (maximum 5.7 x 10^-3 wt% of rubber at pH7 at 37 deg. cel.), which is derived as the hydrolysis product of BMH
- BMH (maximum 8.9 x 10^-4 wt% of rubber at pH7 at 37 deg. cel.)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this study, possible elution of the substance (BMH) and/or of its hydrolysis products was investigated, from a vulcanized rubber with water (kind of leakage/migration test). The study shows that at pH=7 and T=37 degrees Celsius around 0.001 wt% of BMH and 0.007 wt% of the hydrolysis product HNH was eluted in 24 hours from the rubber sample in water. These amounts were significantly lower at 20 degrees Celsius.
