Executive summary:

GUIDELINE

The determination was carried out using the HPLC Method and a procedure 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.

METHOD

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

DISCUSSION

The test item was a complex mixture and the result was expected to be high. As such, it was concluded that the HPLC method would be most suitable for determination of partition coefficient. The test was modified from that stated in the guideline to allow assessment of the partition coefficient up to a value of log10 Pow 10.0 by use of additional reference standards. The mobile phase was adjusted to approximately pH 4 to neutralise any negative silanols on the column's silica base material. This was done to reduce any secondary column interactions because the test item components contained amine groups, which would potentially be ionised. It could then be concluded that the retention on the column was due to partitioning between the column's stationary phase and the mobile phase and not due to ionic interations.

CONCLUSION

The partition coefficient of the test item has been determined to be greater than 1.0 x 10E10, with a log10 Pow of > 10.0.
