Description of key information
A log Kow value of 7 (approximately the middle range of the measured values) has been determined to be representative.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information
The octanol-water partition coefficient of two C16 chlorinated paraffins was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using 14C-labelled materials. The mean log Kow value for the 35% chlorinated paraffin (range 4.7-8.3) was 7.2 and the corresponding value for the 69% chlorinated material (range 6.9-7.8) was 7.4 (Fisk et al. 1998).
Using reversed phase high performance thin layer chromatography, the octanol-water partition coefficients for components of two MCCPs have been determined. The derived partition coefficients, expressed as log Pow values, varied from 5.52-8.21 and between 5.47-8.01 for the 45% and 52% chlorinated C14-17 paraffins, respectively (Renberg et al. 1980).
Calculated values for log Kow between 5.5 and >6 are reported in IUCLID for MCCPs (EU, 2005).
Log Kow values of 6.95 for a C14 chlorinated paraffin (42% chlorinated), 6.37 for a C14 chlorinated paraffin (57% chlorinated), 8.54 for a C17 chlorinated paraffin (38% chlorinated) and 7.94 for a C17 chlorinated paraffin (58% chlorinated) have been calculated using the CLOGP 3.4 computer program (BUA, 1992).
Overall, a log Kow value of 7 (approximately the middle of the range of measured values) will be used as a representative value.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
