Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
Not conducted under GLP
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
shake-flask method to: flask method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Analytical method:
photometric method
Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
ca. 1.63
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH not available
Details on results:
Concentrations of the n-octanol phase were calculated directly from the absorbance values.
Concentration of the double distilled water phase was very low: even applying direct measurement to this phase, absorbance values were far below the lower limit of the spectrophotometer’s sensibility. Measured differences were below the error limits of the method.
Conclusions:
The n-octanol-water partition coefficient was performed according to OECD 107, Shake Flask Method. Under the experimental conditions the log Kow was determined to be 1.63 at 20°C.
Executive summary:

The n-octanol-water partition coefficient was performed according to OECD 107, Shake Flask Method. Under the experimental conditions the log Kow was determined to be 1.63 at 20°C (Reach&Colours, 2015).

Description of key information

The partition coefficient was determined according to OECD Guideline107 (Reach&Colours, 2015) and by measurement of the respective concentrations in an octanol / water-containing system (HPV, 2002)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
1.63
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The higher and more conservative log Kow of 4.4 was chosen to represent the test substance.
