Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: shake flask method.
-Parameters analysed / observed: The concentration of the sample in the water layer was determined, and that in the octanol was obtained by difference. The partition coefficient was calculated from the obtained values.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
flask method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Analytical method:
photometric method

Partition coefficient:
2.95
Temp.:
25 °C
Remarks on result:
other: No further details specified.
Conclusions:
The partition coefficient 1-octanol/water (log Kow) of the test item is 2.95.
Executive summary:

The determination of the test substance's partition coefficient 1-octanol/water was carried out using the shake-flask method. Only the concentration of the sample in the water layer was determined, and that in the octanol was obtained by difference. Taking into account the solubility of the test substance in water and its solubility in 1-octanol, the partition coefficient was calculated. The partition coefficient 1-octanol/water (log Kow) of the test item is 2.95.

Description of key information

Weight of evidence. Based on available data, the test item has a log Kow = 2.95 (worst case).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
2.95
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Weight of evidence. Based on available data from two available experimental studies, the test item has a log Kow = 2.95 (worst case). In one study, the log Kow was determined using the shake flask method, determining the sample concentration in the water layer and obtaining the concentration in the octanol layer by difference. The resulting logKow was 2.95. In another study, the log Kow was determined by HPLC method according to OECD guidelines, but no further information is available. The resulting log Kow was 2.86. Based on the available data, the test item has a log Kow = 2.95, as a worst case scenario.
