In the attachment the graph of the theoretical values of log Kowand the average log k of the reference substances and an example of a HPLC-chromatogram from the analysis performed according to the test set up.

The average measured log Kowvalue for 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl peroxyneodecanoate was calculated with the retention time from two injections usingthe calibration plot of log Kowversus log k of the selected reference substances. The result for log Kowwas determined to be > 6.5, as estimation the log Kowvalue was calculated by extrapolation to be 6.9. In Annex 2 detailed results and calculations are displayed.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient log Pow value for 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl peroxyneodecanoate is >6.5. The calculated log Kow value by extrapolation is 6.9.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient n-octanol/water (Kow) of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl peroxyneodecanoatewas estimated using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The Kowtest was performed in accordance with the OECD guideline 117 with one modification, the reference substances and test substances were dissolved in methanol. The data on the partition coefficient can be used to predict the adsorption on soil and sediments and for establishing quantitative structure-activity relationships for a wide range of biological effects

Determinations of retention times were performed in duplicate. Since during analysis,1,1,3,3-Tetramethyl- butyl peroxyneodecanoates is separated from Isododecane the outcome of the testdata is referring to the pure substance.

The values of log Kowderived from the different measurements fell within a range of ± 0.1 log units.The correlation coefficient R2for the relationship between log k and log Kowof the reference substances was calculated to be higher than 0.9.

The partition coefficient log Pow value for 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl peroxyneodecanoate is >6.5. The calculated log Kow value by extrapolation is 6.9.
