Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The log Pow of the substance at neutral pH and ca. 20°C was determined to be > 7.2. Pow > 1.6E7.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of the substance was determined using the HPLC method. The study was performed in accordance with EC A.24, OECD 117 and OPPTS 830.7570 and in compliance with GLP. An UPLC-UV system was used with 75/25 (v/v) methanol/water as mobile phase and 210 nm as wavelength of detection. Test item and reference substance benzo[ghi]perylene were injected into the system. The chromatogram of the test item showed one peak at 21.4 min. The retention time of benzo[ghi]perylene (log Pow 7.2) was 19.3 min. From this it was concluded that the log Pow of the substance at neutral pH and ca. 20°C is > 7.2 (Pow > 1.6E7). This is in agreement with the calculated value of 7.7 (Rekker calculation method).
