Results

The aim of this study was the determination of the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item. The solubility of the test item n-octanol was determined by visual inspection. Water solubility of the test item was determined in study also by visual inspection. The partition coefficient was calculated as ratio between the solubility in n-octanol and the water solubility. The estimation of the partition coefficient by using the solubilities of the substance in the pure solvents is described in Appendix of EC method A.8 and OECD guideline 107. The water solubility was determined to be much lower than the n-octanol solubility of the test item.

The solubility in n-octanol of the test item was determined at ambient temperature under atmospheric pressure.

Temperature [°C]: 20.3 °C

Solubility range [g/L]: 1-10

Solubility of the test item in ultra-pure water at ambient temperature

Temperature [°C]: ambient

Solubility [mg/L]: 234-293

The concentration of the test item in the water phase and in the n octanol phase was taken for the calculation of n octanol/water partition coefficient (POW) and its decimal logarithm (log POW). The calculated log POW was between 0.5 and 1.6.
