Details on results:
The determination was performed at 35°C (column temperature), however the values can be considered to represent the values at an unspecified, probably ambient temperature since no mention is made in the guidelines of the temperature at which the tabulated reference substances log Kow values were determined. Partition coefficients of the test and reference substances are assumed to vary with temperature in the same way.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The chromatogram shows two unresolved peaks at retention times 15.0 and 15.6 minutes, corresponding to partition coefficients (log values) of 5.4 and 5.5. Therefore:
Partition coefficient n-octanol/water of Cetonal :
- major peak: Log Pow = 5.4
- minor peak: Log Pow = 5.5
Executive summary:

The Partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of Cetonal was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method according to the OECD guideline No. 117. The chromatogram shows two unresolved peaks at retention times 15.0 and 15.6 minutes, corresponding to partition coefficients (log values) of 5.4 and 5.5. Therefore:

Partition coefficient n-octanol/water of Cetonal :

- major peak: Log Pow = 5.4

- minor peak: Log Pow = 5.5
