Deviations:

not applicable

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Since the test item does not contain any functional groups likely to dissociate under normal conditions, no experimental work was performed. Instead, calculation of the dissociation constant using ACD/Labs I-Lab 2.0 was performed.
ACD/pKa calculates accurate acid-base ionization constants (pKa values) for 25°C and zero ionic strength in aqueous solutions. Each calculation is provided with its 95% confidence limits. The accuracy of calculations is usually better than ±0.2 pKa units (for very complex structures, better than ±0.5 pKa units).

GLP compliance:

yes

Dissociating properties:

no

The predicted pKa values were in the range of 14.03 – 14.99 (95% confidence limits ± 0.1) for the hydroxyl groups and -3.74 – -2.59 (95% confidence limits ± 0.2) for the amine groups.

 

For details see attached document "pKa results from computer prediction.pdf".

Conclusions:

The hydroxy groups of the test material will not dissociate under normal environmental conditions as the pKa values are not within the environmentally relevant pH range of 5-9 (see REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, chapter R.7.1.17).

Description of key information
