Details on results:

The three 10.0-mg/L Brominated Epoxy solutions were sequentially injected. Brominated Epoxy eluted as three peaks on the UV detector. The mean retention time of each peak was 9.373, 25.500, and 32.268 minutes, respectively. Immediately following the injections of the 10.0-mg/L test substance solutions, a 50.0-mg/L test substance solution was injected to confirm which peaks were from the test substance. Since the second and third peaks of the test substance had to be driven off the column by way of a stronger mobile phase than used for the elution of the reference standards, the log POW for the second and third peak of the test substance were reported as greater than the highest POW reference standard, DDT (log POW = 6.5). The capacity factors (k) of each test substance peak were then calculated based on the corresponding retention time. The corresponding mean log POW for each Brominated Epoxy peak was calculated as 5.74, greater than 6.5, and greater then 6.5, respectively.

An injection of a reagent blank solution (75% ACN: 25% H2O (v/v)) showed that the reagents used for preparation of the calibration reference standard solutions and Brominated Epoxy solutions were free of any potentially interfering contaminants. A reference standard of thiourea was injected in duplicate (once near the beginning and once near the end of the HPLC sequence) and the retention time was averaged to determine the analytical column dead time (t0) for use in calculating the capacity factors of the other reference standards and the test substance. The mean retention time of the duplicate thiourea standard injections was 1.652 minutes on the UV detector. The six additional calibration reference standard solutions were analyzed after each thiourea injection with one injection of a reference standard solution immediately prior to the test substance injections to determine retention times.

Conclusions:

Under the chromatographic conditions specified, Brominated Epoxy eluted as three discrete peaks . The mean log Pow for the first test substance peak was determined to be 5.74 ± 0.001 log units (N = 3, CV = 0.017%). The mean log Pow for the second and third test substance peaks were determined to be greater than 6.5 and greater than 6.5, respectively, using the HPLC estimation method.

Executive summary:

Test system: Analytical Column: YMC-Pack ODS-AM (150 x 4.6 mm, 3-μm) Mobile Phase: Acetonitrile: Reagent Water; 75:25, v/v

Summary: Under the chromatographic conditions specified, Brominated Epoxy eluted as three discrete peaks .

Additional information

The partition coefficient of brominated epoxy and F-2200 were determined using the HPLC estimation method. The mean Log Pow was 5.74 for brominated epoxy and 5.73 for F-2200. The mean log Pow for the second and third test substance components peaks were determined to be greater than 6.5.As component n=0 is been considered as worst case scenario, the mean Log Pow 5.74 for this component is taken for assessment.
