Executive summary:

Partition Coefficient

Method

The determination was carried out using the HPLC Method, designed to be compatible with Method A8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004 and Method 830.7570 of the OPPTS Guidelines.

 

The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph with a suitable detector (UV/). A reverse phase HPLC column with a very low percentage of polar groups was used (e.g. C8, C18). The mobile phase contained at least 25% aqueous phase.

Conclusion

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 3.10, log10Pow 0.491.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be 3.10, log10 Pow 0.491.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
