Conclusions:
In conclusion, the partition coefficients of the 3 components of the test substance (EC: 433-100-1) were estimated to be log Pow range from -3.1 to 18 by calculation using the Leo-Hansch method.
Executive summary:

The chemical’s solubilities in both water and octanol were so low that experimental determination of the partition coefficient was not possible. Therefore, the partition coefficient was determined by theoretical fragmentation of the molecule according to the Leo-Hansch method. The partition coefficient (log Pow) of the first component (Dilithiumsebacate) was calculated to be -3.1. The log Pow of the second component (Lithium salt of sebacic acid stearylamide) was calculated to be 6.3 and of the third component (Sebacic add distearylamide) was calculated to be 18.

In conclusion, the partition coefficients of the 3 components of the test substance (EC: 433-100-1) were estimated to be in the log Pow range from -3.1 to 18 by calculation using the Leo-Hansch method.

For the purpose of chemical safety assessment a log Pow value had to be selected. An average log Pow value for the complete substance was therefore calculated based on the log Pow values of the individual components and their respective percentage distribution. The log Pow value used for the chemical risk characterisation is 2.81.
