Conclusions:
Log Pow of methacrylic anhydride is 1.23, calculated with the free available estimation programm KOWIN 1.68 from U.S. EPA.
Executive summary:

Log Pow of methacrylic anhydride is 1.23, calculated with the free available estimation programm KOWIN 1.68 from U.S. EPA.

Description of key information

The partition coefficient of methacrylic anhydride calculated with KOWWIN 1.68 is 1.23.

Log Kow of the hydrloysis product methacrylic acid, tested in the shake flask method, was published to be 0.98.

For further assessment log Kow 1.23 will be used.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
1.23

Additional information

The partition coefficient of methacrylic anhydride calculated with KOWWIN 1.68 is 1.23. The partition coefficient of the hydrolysis product methacrylic acid is 0.93. Although methacrylic anhydride is known to hydrolyse very fast, the higher log Kow of 1.23 will be used as worst case.
