Preparation of sample solution:
Test material (0.01 g) was diluted to 100 ml with methanol.
Preparation of reference solutions
The dead time was determined by measuring the retention time of formamide (purity* >99.5%, 1 x 103 mg/l solution in methanol).
The sample, formamide and reference standard solutions were injected in duplicate using the following HPLC parameters:
HPLC System : Agilent Technologies 1100, incorporating autosampler and workstation
Column : Zorbax SB-CN 5µm (250 x 4.6 mm id)
Column temperature: 30ºC
Mobile phase : methanol:water (55:45 v/v)
pH of mobile phase: 6.61
Flow rate : 1 ml/min
UV detector wavelength : dead time and reference standards: 210 nm, sample: 210 nm
Injection volume: 10 µl
A calibration curve was constructed from the retention time data of the formamide and reference standard solutions. The capacity factors (k) for the reference standards were calculated using equation 1.
The capacity factor was calculated using Equation 1 and the log10Koc value determined with reference to the calibration curve.
Equation 1: k = tr - t0 / to
where:
K = capacity factor
tr = retention time (min)

Discussion:
The method guideline states that the measurement of adsorption coefficient should be carried out on substances in their ionised and unionised forms. However, the dissociation constants of certain functional groups found in the test material made it impossible to satisfy this criterion. Testing would be required at greater than pH 14 to obtain the test material in its ionised form. As a consequence of this, the functional groups will always be present in their unionised forms. Therefore, as pH 14 or above is outside the environmental pH range for this test and also experimentally impractical, testing was carried out at approximately neutral pH with the functional group unionised (the predicted values of pKa were obtained using the ACD/I-Lab Web Service (ACD/pKa 8.03)).

Corrected Log Koc: 0.9346
Description of key information
An adsorption/desorption screening test was not conducted on the target substance (EC 251-136-4), as based on the substances physico-chemical properties (especially octanol/water partition coefficient of log Kow 2.16) the substance is expected to have low potential for adsorption.
However, to confirm this low potential for adsorption the substance (EC 251-136-4) has been assessed by reading across the results of adsorption/desorption screening studies conducted on two structurally similar analogue substances, which are detailed below.
Source Substance; (EC-413 -110 -2):
The adsorption coefficient was determined to be 907, log Koc 2.96.
Source Substance; Gel All MD (EC 402-950-5):
The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the test material has been determined to be 296, log10 Koc 2.47.
These results were supported by a basic QSAR prediction for log Koc, run using EPI Suite model KOCWIN (v2.00).
KOCWIN v2.00 gave predictions for the substance log Koc as 1.1285 (MCI method) and 0.9346 (from Log Kow).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Based on the target substances log Kow, log Koc results from two structurally similar analogue substances and a QSAR prediction on the target substance, it is considered that the substance has a low potential for adsorption.
