Conclusions:
The adsoroption coefficient of the test material has been determined to be in the range indicated below along with approximate percentage composition:
%age of Test Material Adsorption Coefficient
20 <1.25
50 1.25 to 5.63
30 >5.63
Executive summary:

The adsoroption coefficient of the test material (PR-4758) was measured in accordance with international guidelines in a GLP testing laboratory. The OECD guideline requires that substances are tested in their ionised and un-ionised form, however due to the dissociation properties of some of the components testing would need to have taken place at pH 11 which was experimentally impractical. The testing was hence carried out at neutral pH.

The adsoroption coefficient of the test material was determined to be in the range indicated below for approximate percentages of the substance composition:

%age of Test Material Adsorption Coefficient

20% = < 1.25

50% = 1.25 to 5.63

30% = > 5.63

Endpoint:

Type of information:

Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
As the substance is surface active (highly emulsifying), standard methods for the determination of adsorption/desorption coefficient were not suitable. The presented data were generated using the (Q)SAR KOCWIN as contibuting data towards a weight of evidence for this endpoint. Whilst this (Q)SAR does not have a strict domain of applicability, many of the constituents of this substance had a molecular weight outside the range of the training set. Additionally, this (Q)SAR is not suitable for surface active substances, so the results need to be trated with caution. This study is, however, deemed suitable for use in a weight-of-evidence approach to reach a conclusion on the adsorption/desorption properties of this substance.

Conclusions:
The predictions presented for fatty acids, C18 unsaturated, reaction products with diethylenetriamine, Acrylic acid and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether are only suitable as supporting information for the organic carbon partition coefficient endpoint.
Executive summary:

This prediction was performed to support the Adsorption coefficient endpoint which is being submitted under Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) using the (Q)SAR KOCWIN.

The substance is composed of a number of C18 unsaturated reaction product molecules with a molecular weight range of 611 – 732 g/mol. Although there is no formally defined domain of applicability for this (Q)SAR, the majority of components of the substance predicted fall outside the molecular weight range of the training set, which may cast doubt on the adequacy of the prediction.

The substance is also considered to be surface active, which renders the adequacy of the prediction as “inadequate”. This (Q)SAR is not suitable for surface active substances.

The predictions presented for fatty acids, C18 unsaturated, reaction products with diethylenetriamine, Acrylic acid and ethylene monobutyl ether are only suitable as supporting information for the organic carbon partition coefficient endpoint.

Description of key information

Butler & White (2010): log Koc = < 0.3 - > 6.5 (OECD 121)

Walker (2014): log Koc = 0.4 - 9.2 (KOCWIN)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
10 000

Additional information

Butler & White (2010) concluded that the substance has an estimated range of adsorption coefficients ranging from log Koc = 0.3 - 5.6 when using the OECD 121 HPLC screening method, indicating a wide range of adsorption characteristics for the substance. Similarly, the supporting study by Walker (2014) concluded that the substance has an estimated range of adsorption coefficients ranging from log Koc = 0.4 - 9.2 when using the (Q)SAR KOCWIN.

As the substance has no specified value for adsorption coefficients, a maximum modelling value of 10,000 L/kg was used. This value is the maximum value that will result in worst-case partitioning in environmental exposure models. The hydrocarbon structures of this mixture are consistent with highly cationic surfactants, which upon entering the aquatic environmental compartment will quickly form complexes with dissolved organics, particularly with anionic compounds, and are strongly adsorbed onto solids. The theory behind this approach is to compensate for the uncertainty associated with water solubility, Kow and Koc values by ensuring that worst-case exposure values will be estimated for pelagic and benthic compartments during environmental exposure modelling.
