Reference
Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
not specified
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: determination of partition coefficient of PEG
- Short description of test conditions: Partition coefficient of PEG 400 were determined in quadruplicate for water and hydrophobic solvents. For each run, 33 g of PEG 400 were dissolved in 110 ml of water. Polyethylene glycol solution was added to 110 ml of organic solvent in a 500-ml reaction bottle. The PEG content of the organic phase and water phase was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
Type of method:
HPLC method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
