- Details on results:
- From the molecular structure, Jeffamine RFD-270 Amine contains a C6H10 cyclic fragment, a CH3 fragment, 4-C aliphatic fragments, 7 aliphatic-H fragments, an O-aliphatic fragment and 2 aliphatic-NH2 fragments. Thus fragment constants of value 3.50 (-C6H10 ring); 0.89 (-CH3 aliphatic), 0.20 (-C- aliphatic), 0.23 (-H-aliphatic), -1.82 (-O- aliphatic), and -1.54 (-NH2-aliphatic) are applied. The sum of the fragments in the molecule was therefore calculated as 1.90.
Also present in the molecule are 7 bonds between the fragments. Therefore, a bond factor of -0.72 applies.
From the sum of fragments and factors the partition coefficient was estimated by calculation as 1.18 log units. - Conclusions:
- The estimated log P value for the test substance is 1.18.

Description of key information
The log Pow of the substance was determined in a GLP study according to OECD Guideline 117 and EC A.8 to be in the range of 1.59 to 3.48 at 20 °C and pH 11.5, following the HPLC method (Tarran, 2012).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 2.17
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
The log Pow range represents four peaks observed in the HPLC chromatogram (column temperature: 40°C). Individual log Pow values calculated are: 1.59, 2.29, 2.97 and 3.48 with observed relative peak areas of 49.0%, 25.4%, 14.9% and 10.7%, respectively. Using the measured peak area for each calculated partition coefficient, the weighted mean Log Pow for the test substance is 2.17.
The results are also considered to be applicable at 20°C. The test was performed at pH 11.5 to ensure the substance is predominantly in its non-ionised form. This does not truly reflect physiological and environmental conditions (pH 5-9) at which pH the ionisable groups might be charged and the water solubility increased resulting in a lower octanol/water partition coefficient. In addition, the log Pow was estimated based on atomic or group fragment constants and structural factors to be 1.18 (Younis S, 2012).
