Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Data obtained for the first set of samples indicated a steady increase in test substance concentration over the 72-hour equilibration period. Thus, a second set of samples was established and equilibrated for a minimum time of 72 h and a maximum of 120 h. Similarly, the results demonstrated an increasing solubility of test substance in n-octanol over the equilibration periods. Replicate variability for some sampling intervals is noted to be high with percent relative error reaching as much as 31%. While the measured concentration of the test material continued to rise through 120 h of testing, the measured concentration after 72 h reached the treatment level introduced in the experiment. Results at 120 h represent approximately 200% of the treatment concentration. The cause of these results is unknown. Instrumental response remained generally constant across the two experiments. Quality control samples were near 100% of the prepared concentration. Systemic bias cannot explain the high measured concentrations observed in test samples.

The technique used to measure the test material, gel permeation chromatography, provides separation based on molecular weight and structure. As possible reasons for the inconsistent analytical results the author discussed the formation of some quaternary structure with n-octanol on the idea of a conjugate or a change of the molecule caused by n-octanol. The result of either of these hypothetical events would lend itself to a change in the detector response as compared with calibration standards. Quality control samples were not exposed to n-octanol for the length of time or at the same temperatures as test samples.
