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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The n-octanol/water partition coefficient cannot be determined experimentally due to technical problems. The use of a QSAR programme resulted in a calculated partition coefficient of log Pow = -1.57.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- -1.57
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Tests on the octanol/water partition coefficient of hydrogen peroxide can not be performed due to technical problems: The shake flask method is not applicable (risk of violent reactions). The HPLC-method is not applicable for substances which react with the solvent and for substances with a log Pow below 0. The solubility in octanol can not be determined since hydrogen peroxide should not be mixed with organic solvents. The n-octanol/water partition coefficient can be calculated using a QSAR programme. The calculation of the partition coefficient for hydrogen peroxide revealed a value log Pow = -1.57 (Brachold 2006).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
