Details on results:

OBSERVATIONS
- The test material eluted after the retention time marker but before the lowest Kow standard.

RESULTS
- The test material was composed of two close peaks, with retention times of 1.95 and 2.39 minutes.
- The individual log Kow values and the weighted average log Kow are summarised in Table 1.
- The retention time for the test material was below the range obtained from standards. The Kow determined was less than the lowest Kow standard methyl ethyl ketone which has a Kow of 0.3. All results are reported as less than 0.3. The test material displayed a weight-averaged log Kow of < 0.3 at neutral pH as per the method in OECD Test No. 117.

Average					<0.3

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study the test material displayed a weight-averaged log Kow of < 0.3 at neutral pH.

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 117 under GLP conditions using the HPLC method.

The test material was dissolved in methanol:water (50:50). Two separate samples were prepared, and each was analysed using HPLC. The log Kow of the test material was determined using a calibration curve constructed from 7 reference materials (plot of capacity factors against log Kow).

The test material was composed of two close peaks, with retention times of 1.95 and 2.39 minutes. The retention time for the test material was below the range obtained from standards. The Kow determined was less than the lowest Kow standard methyl ethyl ketone which has a Kow of 0.3.

Under the conditions of this study the test material displayed a weight-averaged log Kow of < 0.3 at neutral pH.
