Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
ca. 4.55
Remarks on result:
other: Log Pow value of DPPA is 2.43 (33% of total base peak area) and log Pow of DPHA is 3.44 (42% of total base peak area). Therefore, 75% w/w of the tested substance has a log Kow ≤3.44. For the minor components, log Pow values are between 0.25 and 4.55.
Details on results:
Log Pow was also calculated using the chemical structure or the CAS number (computer software: ECOSAR, EPA Kow win). The calculated log Pow values for both main components of DPHA are on the same order of magnitude to the experimental ones.

Conclusions:
DPHA is a UVCB. The log Kow value of the constituent DPPA is 2.43 (33% of total base peak area) and the log Kow of the constituent DPHA is 3.44 (42% of total base peak area). Therefore, 75% w/w of the tested substance has a log Kow ≤3.44. For the minor components, log Kow values are between 0.25 and 4.55.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the partition coefficient of test substance, DPHA according to the OECD Guideline 117 using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection method. The test substance is a UVCB. The log Kow value of DPPA is 2.43 (33% of total base peak area) and the log Kow of DPHA is 3.44 (42% of total base peak area). Therefore, 75% w/w of the tested substance has a log Kow  ≤3.44. For the minor components, log Kow values are between 0.25 and 4.55. Log Kow value was also estimated by calculation methods (Rekker) which are based on theoretical fragmentation of the molecule into suitable substructures for which log Kow increments are known. The calculated log Kow values for both main components of the test substance are on the same order of magnitude to the experimental ones (Herssens, 2010).

Additional information

The log Kow value of the constituent DPPA is 2.43 (33% of total base peak area) and the log Kow of the constituent DPHA is 3.44 (42% of total base peak area). Therefore, 75% w/w of the tested substance has a log Kow ≤3.44. For the minor components, log Kow values are between 0.25 and 4.55.
