Principles of method if other than guideline:
At least two different concentrations of DBPP (100 ppm - 1 %) were prepared in octanol. Octanol solutions and water were added into a glass bottle and shaken for 48 h. The mixture was then transferred to a separatory funnel and allowed to stand for 1 week in the dark. Then samples were taken from the aqueous phase, extracted and analyzed. The partition coeft was calculated according to: P = Co/Cw

There were no additional measurements carried out with the octanol phase as negligible amounts were found in the water phase.

Description of key information

The octanol/water partition coefficient of DBPP was measured by preparing DBPP solutions in octanol, shaking them with water and subsequently allowing the mixture to stand for 1 week. Then samples were taken extracted and analyzed. The partition coeft was calculated according to: P = Co/Cw. The partition coefficient for DBPP equalled 18800 (of log Pow = 4.27) (Saeger et al., 1979). Additionally, 3 QSAR estimations for the 3 main constituents are available. These were in the same range as the measured log Kow value.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
4.27
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The reaction mass of DiButyl Phenyl Phosphate (DBPP) also contains ca. 10% Tri Butyl Phosphate (TBP) and ca 20% Butyl DiPhenyl Phosphate (BDPP) and 70% DiButyl Phenyl Phosphate (DBPP).

For all three compounds a QSAR was run to estimate the log Kow. The QSAR is well defined, based on elaborate training and validation datasets and all three compounds fall well within the applicability domain of the QSAR:

compound              log Kow

DBPP                     4.11

TBP                        3.82

BDPP                     4.41

For DBPP a measured log Kow value is also present; which equals 4.27. This is very close to the value calculated by the QSAR. However, since this is a measured value, this was the starting point for further calculations.

The QSAR values for the three compounds are considered to be reliable estimates of the actual values (which is confirmed by the measured value for DBPP) and do not give a reason to deviate from the measured log Kow value for DBPP.
