Description of key information
The log Pow of 1,2-dichloroethane was determined to be 1.45 at 20°C (Veit, 1980).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 1.45
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
In the key study (Veit, 1980), the partition coefficient of 1,2-dichloroethane was determined by the flask-shake method and the content in the water and octanol phase was determined by RP-HPLC.
1 mg/ml solutions of the test substance in water or octanol were equilibrated against the other solvent. After shaking the solution in closed tubes, both phases were separated by centrifugation at 27000 rpm for 30 min analysed. The partition coefficient of 1,2-dichloroethane was determined to be logPow = 1.45 at 20°C.
Other handbook data from different sources support this value (range: 1.42 to 1.76 g/cm3).
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.
