Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus:
- Type: Agilent 1200 Series Liquid Chromatograph
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: HyperClone 5µ CN (CPS) (25 cm x 4.6 mm internal diameter)
- Detection system: UV set at 210 nm

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: Acetonitrile:water (55:45 v/v)
- Experiments with additives carried out on separate columns: no additives used
- pH: no data
- Solutes for dissolving test and reference substances: HPLC mobile phase

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: by inert substances which are not retained by the column (formamide)

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: Acetanilide, Nitrobenzene, Naphthalene, 2-Methylnaphthalene, Anthracene, DDT
- Known logKoc values: 1.3, 2.4, 2.8, 3.9, 4.4, 5.6

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: ca. 2 µg
- Quantity of reference substances:
Formamide (internal deadtime standard): 2 µg, Acetanilide: 0.2 µg, Nitrobenzene: 0.2 µg, Naphthalene: 0.05 µg, 2-Methylnaphthalene: 0.05 µg, Anthracene: 0.2 µg, DDT: 0.2 µg
- Intervals of calibration: before and after injections of the test substance

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: two

EVALUATION
- Determination of the log Koc value: A calibration plot of log10k versus log10Koc was constructed for the reference standards. The logarithms of the capacity factors for the test substance were calculated and the log10Koc values were determined by interpolation.
Key result
Type:
log Koc
Value:
>= 4.3 - <= 5.2
Temp.:
25 °C
Details on results (HPLC method):
The main components of the test material were found to have LogKoc values between 4.3 and 5.2.
- Retention times of reference substances used for calibration:
acetanilide (3.4 min), nitrobenzene (4.2), naphthalene (5.0), 2-methylnaphthalene (5.3), anthracene (6.0), DDT (9.1)
- Details of fitted regression line: log10Koc = 4.48 log10k + 3.86
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
