Conclusions:

Please see the Conclusion within the Executive Summary Section below.

Executive summary:

The determination was carried out using an 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). 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 1.79 x 10³, log₁₀P_ow 3.25.

Description of key information

The log Kow of the substance has been determined to be 3.25. The Kow is 1.79E03.
