GUIDELINE

Partition coefficient was determined using the HPLC method and the investigation was designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

METHODS

The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph with an appropriate detector. A reverse phase HPLC column with a very low amount of polar groups was used.

CONCLUSION

The partition coefficient of the test item was determined to be greater than 1 x 10E10 with Log10 Pow > 10.0.

pH:

Details on results:
The result from the preliminary test indicated that the HPLC method was the most suitable for determination of partition coefficient for this test item.
The mobile phase’s pH was unadjusted as the test item had no dissociation constants in the environmentally relevant pH range and so was tested in its non-ionized form.
The chromatography of the test item showed one sharp main peak with a well-defined and reproducible retention time. The HPLC method was therefore considered to be suitable for the purpose of the study. Based on the chromatographic data, the test item was considered to be stable during the test procedure.
Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be >2.51E+09, log10 Pow > 9.4.
Executive summary:

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 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph with a suitable detector (UV/VIS, ELS). 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 >2.51E+09, log10 Pow > 9.4.

The log Pow was calculated (QSAR) with KOWWIN. Due to the fact that this substance is long chain hydrocarbon which exceeds the applicability domain of KOWWIN the value for log Pow is reported with restricitions.

The applicability domain covers log Pow up to 10 (maximum) so these values should be given as log Pow > 10.

The concrete value is reported to show the high lipophilic nature of the substance.

No data available for pH.

No GC-FID peak for the test substance was observed in any of the aqueous phases, indicating that the concentrations of test substance in these phases were less than the LDC (lowest detectable concentration) of 0.3 µg/mL.

The test substance was observed in the octanol phases at concentrations listed in table 1 below. Based on those concentrations, the average observed percentage of the test substance which partitioned into the octanol phases was 99 ± 9% (n = 7; table 2), indicating that the mass balance was acceptable.

Because the observed concentrations of the test substance in the aqueous phases were all less than the detection limit, the resulting Kow values were minima, ranging from > 92 to > 460 (log Kow > 2.7) (table 1), the latter minimum being the reported Kow for the test substance at 22 °C.

To register EC453-460-3 under REACH program, a read-across approach for fulfillment of the endpoints has been adopted. EC453-460-3 is an aliphatic ester and fits the description of polyol esters category in HPV program (High Production Volume, US-EPA). The distinguishing feature of polyol esters category is that the fatty acids were linked to one or more of the multiple hydroxyl groups present in the polyol (alcohol portion of ester). The focus of this correspondence is to support read across to EC613-848-7 (target) which provided key studies to determine hazard profile of EC453-460-3 (target), published information on other structurally analogous polyol esters were served as supporting evidence.

Justification for type of information:
To register EC453-460-3 under REACH program, a read-across approach for fulfillment of the endpoints has been adopted. EC453-460-3 is an aliphatic ester and fits the description of polyol esters category in HPV program (High Production Volume, US-EPA). The distinguishing feature of polyol esters category is that the fatty acids were linked to one or more of the multiple hydroxyl groups present in the polyol (alcohol portion of ester). The focus of this correspondence is to support read across to EC613-848-7 (target) which provided key studies to determine hazard profile of EC453-460-3 (target), published information on other structurally analogous polyol esters were served as supporting evidence.

No data available for pH.

No GC-FID peak for the test substance was observed in any of the aqueous phases, indicating that the concentrations of test substance in these phases were less than the LDC (lowest detectable concentration) of 0.3 µg/mL.

The test substance was observed in the octanol phases at concentrations listed in table 1 below. Based on those concentrations, the average observed percentage of the test substance which partitioned into the octanol phases was 99 ± 9% (n = 7; table 2), indicating that the mass balance was acceptable.

Because the observed concentrations of the test substance in the aqueous phases were all less than the detection limit, the resulting Kow values were minima, ranging from > 92 to > 460 (log Kow > 2.7) (table 1), the latter minimum being the reported Kow for the test substance at 22 °C.

Conclusions:
Because the observed concentrations of the test substance in the aqueous phases were all less than the detection limit, the resulting Kow values were minima, ranging from > 92 to > 460 (log Kow > 2.7) (table 1), the latter minimum being the reported Kow for the test substance at 22 °C.
The actual Log Kow for this substance has been calculated as being > 10.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient of the test item was determined to be greater than 1 x 10E10 with Log10 Pow > 10.0 (OECD 117 and EU Method A.8).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

GUIDELINE

Partition coefficient was determined using the HPLC method and the investigation was designed to be compatible with Method A.8 Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and Method 117 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 13 April 2004.

METHODS

The test system consisted of a high performance liquid chromatograph with an appropriate detector. A reverse phase HPLC column with a very low amount of polar groups was used.

CONCLUSION

The partition coefficient of the test item was determined to be greater than 1 x 10E10 with Log10 Pow > 10.0.
