Executive summary:

Method

Partition coefficient was determined by means of shake flask method as per recommendations of OECD 107. Partition coefficient (P) is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system consisting in two largely immiscible solvents.

Result

Study conducted at 20 °C and pH 6.73.

Average Pow = 0.0036 at 20 °C

logPow = -2.4509 at 20 °C

Description of key information

-2.4509 (Pow: 0.0036) at 20 °C and pH 6.73
