Details on results:
Preliminary test:
The sample that was centrifuged twice was analysed by HPLC, resulting in a solubility of approximately 0.40 mg/L. Based on this outcome it was decided to apply the column-elution method.

Main test:
The water solubility was calculated from the peak height in the chromatogram. In the first series a steady-state was found (difference between 5 successive fractions less than 30%). All calculated solubilities were in the range of 0.2 -0.1 mg/L.

In the second series no steady state was found. The range of the calculated water solubilities was 0.07 - 0.004 mg/L.
The test item appeared to react with water, as the solubility of the test substance appeared to be lower at a lower flow-rate in the column-elution test.

To demonstrate that the test substance reacts with water, three solutions were prepared in water from stock solution (0.05, 0.10 and 0.25 mg/L). The concentration of SDBR in the three solutions was followed for 5 days with HPLC. The results (included below) indicate that the SDBR degrades with time when dissolved in water. The product of decomposition shows a peak in the chromatogram with a retention time which is 0.3s earlier than the peak of the test substance (nb: chromatograms not included in the report).
